One of my very favorite stories of proposal came from one of my very own clients. Her family and soon to be fiance were visiting Florida for a nice little get away. The boys were out golfing, so the girls decided to go shopping. A small jewelry shop caught her eye so she went in. This is where she found "The Ring." Knowing the boys wouldn't be done for a while she called her significant other, and suggested that they go back later to look at the ring together. They went back only to find that the ring had been sold, wrapped up, and taken right out the door.
Hearing this I felt so sad, but she went on to tell me the underlying secret plan. After the golf game had ended, her benevolent beau went to the jewelry shop and bought the ring in secret. He asked the clerk to tell his soon to be bride that the shop owner had bought it for his wife, and that she was not able to keep it on hold. Two moths after the vacation, when all had been forgotten about the ring, he got down on one knee and uttered those 4 small words most girls cant wait to hear.
He looked at me and asked me to stand up with him. He took my hand in his and told me how much I meant to him and how much he loved me. Finally, the best line of all as he dropped to his knee, "I better ask you now before I start blubbering, Will You Marry Me?" It was such a heartfelt touching proposal. I'll never forget it. I will also never forget wondering if I was going to have to catch him if he fainted, but he didn't, and here we are now, planning a wedding together.
The proposal is the beginning of our journey to the altar. It's where it all begins. The day I was proposed to is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. It's the day that put our dream wedding into motion, and I can't wait for it all to come together into one perfect day.
