After three years of serious commitment, Michael Phelps decided to drop the bomb at a Press Conference after the 2008 Beijing Olympics about proposing to his girlfriend, Roxanne Miller, some time before the 2012 London Summer Olympics. So in 2009, with the media still going on a frenzy of criticism and both side of their Families advising them to evaluate their relationship, Roxanne took it upon herself to get into full Pre-Engagement mode to see whether or not both of them were really ready to take the next step of their lives. All the while, she was still stressed over the fact that she didn't have a clue when he was exactly going to pop the question. He only mentioned 2010. "I hope he's not pulling my leg," She once said with a lot of worry.
