Does Anyone Else Hear Wedding Bells?

Last week we enjoyed a romantic and relaxing weekend in Canoa, a small beach town about 12 hours south of Quito. This small town has only a few main streets which are made of sand...perfect for exploring the town barefoot (except at high noon when you were likely to burn your feet!) Every day we went swimming or body boarding twice because the waves were so perfect. Our favorite activities including watching the ocean while we swung in the hammocks on our porch at the hostel and eating delicious selections of frech seafood. Every night we watched the sunset reflected in the waves. On Wednesday, while we were enjoying the last rays of twilight and the first stars hovering above, Jenny proposed to Jay... and he said yes. It´s official! Jenny gave Jay a silver ring engraved on the inside with "Mi vida, mi amor, para siempre" which means "My life, my love, forever." We are planning on getting married in August 2009 in Oregon. We´re so happy and excited to share this special news with you, our family and friends.

Congratulations! We are very happy for you and can't wait to meet Jay. Good thing you got a commitment before he met the whole family. Might want to get it in writing though.

Seriously- best wishes and lots of love from all of us.

I can't help but notice the date of this post, April 1.

If this is true, I'm happy beyond words...mostly b/c weddings mean parties and likely feats of strength, and of course eternal love, yeah, yeah, yeah.

If this is a prank, let me say, "well done" The fake rings are a nice touch.
