MAY 17TH

Each time I see a lovely proposal online I find myself thinking, I wish I had a special proposal. How quickly I forget that I did have a lovely proposal!

A little bit after I had moved to Chicago from Florida (because it's where Christopher lived and dating long distance was a special kind of hell) we decided to head to Florida to spend Christmas with my Mom there. After our flight I went to visit my Aunt at the store she works at in the airport for a quick minute while Christopher held our luggage in a seating area. When I came back he pointed out that there was a film canister under a seat near us. Excited at the prospect of finding someone's roll of film, I quickly grabbed it and gave it a shake. We were both excited about the treasure we came upon. I opened the canister to see if the world had gifted us a new roll of film or someones vacation photos. I dumped the canister in my hand and along with the roll of film was a little silver circle with bows printed on it. I didn't realize what was happening at first but then I looked over at Christopher and he had a huge grin on his face. I smiled, got giddy and was asked if I would marry him. Of course I said yes and we rushed out to be greeted by my Mom.

I was caught totally by surprise. It was such a sweet special moment!

Today is our 3 year anniversary. I'm excited at the prospect of a trip to the Zoo, a movie or two and a day filled with good food and treats.

In celebration of great wedding proposals you should read these! They are so cute and well thought out.

I might think this was creepy if I didn't love muppets so much.

I hope you all have a wonderful day! XO
