Exhumed and My Engagement Story

Okay, so I know a lot of you have already heard this story, but it's so awesome I need to share it again!

When I first posted about getting engaged, I didn't show you a good picture of the nails I had on, so here they are! Ron and I (and a bunch of our friends) went to see one of my favorite death metal bands Exhumed, and of course, I had to paint their logo on my nails! What I didn't know is that by the end of the night I would have something other than awesome nail polish on my finger (how cheesy was that?!).

I think the best way to find out how Ron proposed is to watch the video, but I'll give you a mini-synopsis and warn you that THE VIDEO IS GOREY. Like I said, we were at the Exhumed concert and all of a sudden, the front-man of Exhumed, Matt Harvey, says "Where's Ron?" then he points at me and says, "You too, come up here!" As I make my way to the stage, I realize that Ron is about to propose (or if he isn't, I'm about to be mega-disappointed haha), but instead of just getting down on one knee, he quite literally gave me his heart. You can see the whole thing in this video. Which again, is a pretty awesome video.



Here is what Exhumed's logo actually looks like.

Iron Maiden and THE BEST SURPRISE EVER

Well, if this isn't the best day ever to be posting Iron Maiden nails, I don't know what is!

Iron Maiden, an amazing heavy metal band, is Ron's favorite band. He has seen them many times and he would probably go far and wide (and possibly spend all of our money) to see them many more times. But the reason that these nails could not have come at a better time is because....

Ron proposed to me last night (I said yes)! So instead of telling you about Iron Maiden, I think I'll tell you about that!

Ron and I both love metal music, and last night we went to a concert where the bands Exhumed and Goatwhore played (I'm sorry for the faint of heart, there is sometimes profanity in metal). Well, Exhumed is probably one of my favorite death metal bands, so during their set, all of a sudden the front-man says, "Alright, where's Ron? Get up here, Ron" and then he points to me and says, "You too!" Before this moment, I hadn't suspected anything, but as soon as I was forced up on stage, I knew what was going on.

Ron's proposal was probably the best thing ever. He said to me, "Ever since I met you, I knew I wanted to be with you... And I want to give you my heart for the rest of my life." He proceeded to rip his shirt open and fake blood started spewing everywhere! Then he pulled out a fake heart and handed it to me. I'm pretty sure that at some point he was down on one knee, but honestly, I was so in shock that I'm not totally sure. At the very bottom I posted some video. There is swearing and blood, but it is adorable.

We spent the evening attempting to not get my beautiful engagement ring bloody and now our skin is stained red. I joked with him, "Well, you may have fake blood stain on you for a few days, but now you're stuck with me for a lifetime!"

Here is my beautiful White Topaz and Black Diamond ring (plus Ron's heart... duh...)

The Exhumed nails that I wore to the show... There will be better pictures of the nails soon!

And again!
