While wishing on a star. While looking up at a ceiling that spelled out "will you marry me" in glow-in-the-dark stars. After opening a secretly already carved pumpkin. On top of a roller coaster. After a bath. During a walk surrounded by the most perfect scenery.
These are all amazing proposals that some of my friends (or friends of friends) have experienced throughout the past few years - and they were all incredibly sweet and personal to each couple.
I imagined my proposal since pretty much I know what the word engagement meant. I once imagined a moonlit stroll on the beach. Then there was the exaggerated dream of going out on a boat with candles everywhere. Oh - and of course about a million more that would pop into my head after watching "A Wedding Story" on TLC.
However, I never could have imagined something so sweet as what my new fiance, Taylor thought up.
He made a DVD of photographs we had taken throughout the past two years, and set it all to one of our favorite songs. At the end of the very sweet video, it said "turn around"...and when I did there was Taylor on one knee in front of my Christmas tree, telling me the sweetest things I'll always remember. I was in the moment - until he said those four words: Will you marry me. I had heard those words about a million times between all my chick flick favorites and reality tv shows...but when they were said to me it was just surreal.
It wasn't until he told me he asked my father for his blessing, and my dad instantly said yes, that I started to get a bit emotional. It was just so wonderful and sweet.
So this is the day that started it all...everytime we schedule a trip to check out reception places, or different websites for tuxes and dresses, we remind Taylor, "it's all your fault," and he just smiles and says, "I know."
