D Finally Proposed!

D's month-long top secret "plan" finally culminated on Friday the (February) 13th.

What was D's plan?
Part 1 - surprise B by proposing before Valentine's Day at B's house
Part 2 - surprise B by having her family and close friends at her house so she can announce her engagement to them in person
Part 3 - have a Facebook relationship status update
Part 4 - eat the geek cake and watch the congrats-on-your-engagement video

The result?
About 90% went according to plan. What went wrong? For whatever reason, the celphone reception was not very good at my house. As a result, D did not know I was on my way. When I rang the doorbell, he panicked and the proposal he had rehearsed was quickly forgotten. He briefly opened the door for me, told me to wait, then closed the door. In that time, I saw a bunch of shoes by the door, indicating there were people over. After a few seconds, D walked me to his car, which was parked at our driveway. He gave me flowers... nervously sang me the song 今天你要嫁給我 ... got down on one knee and proposed in Tagalog. Of course, me being silly, I said "no" a few times. Ultimately, I said "yes" and we were engaged! The rest went swimmingly from there.

Here are some photos from the big day..
