Yep. Surprised her one morning by flying her to New York, proposed in Central Park with a fake ring I got from a Jeweler here in town, then went shopping for rings up and down 5th Ave, at Tiffany's, Debeers, etc. Found some ring ideas we liked, bought a diamond back in Calgary and had the original Jeweler make the ring.
The downside of it all: A golf tournament in which I was supposed to golf with Jarome Iginla got rain delayed to the day I flew her out. To this day I don't think I got the brownie points I should have earned for picking the proposal over the golf . . .
