In case you haven't heard...

So as many of you have heard, Pietro popped the question this weekend :) Here I am going to post the full story of how it all went down:

So unbeknownst to me, apparently last weekend when we were in town for my friend Erin's wedding, Pietro used the fact that I was busy all day with Bridesmaid duties to speak to both of my parents and ask their permission.  He showed his roommates the ring on Monday and told him about his plan for this weekend.  So pretty much everyone but me knew...

I came from NY to visit Princeton for the weekend as per usual and interacted with his roommates both Friday night and Saturday morning, and they didn't give any indication that something was going on.  So Saturday morning, knowing that I love to take pictures of Princeton's beautiful campus, Pietro says "It's beautiful outside let's go study in Frist (the student center) and you can take your pictures on the way"  So as we're walking to Frist he points out this pretty garden park area called Prospect Gardens where he said they change the flowers everyday, this particular day it was filled with tulips in every color so we went in to look and take pictures.

Pietro says he wants to take a picture of me pretending to smell the flowers for his phone background.  As I'm bending down pretending to smell them he says "Ok don't move, don't move, ok I got the picture you can stand up." So I stood up and turned around to see him holding out the ring, at which point I just stared at it confusedly not processing what was happening.  I started crying as he got down on one knee and asked the question and I just kept saying "Seriously??" After a few minutes he reminded me I still hadn't answered but eventually I was able to get out the word "yes" :)

Here are some pictures of the park where it happened and the ring:




**UPDATE**

Here is the pic he took while he was pulling out the ring:
