So some exciting news on the home front-I’m engaged! Well, I’ve actually been engaged for a month now, but I’m still excited nonetheless.
This past weekend, B and I had our engagement party at our house, and we had a blast with our friends hanging out in the backyard and enjoying some movies. I don’t have a ton of pictures from the evening since we were so caught up in the festivities, but I’m looking forward to sharing the fun we had and the inspiration board where we compiled our ideas. (We LOVE Pinterest for this!)
As for the engagement story, B did well. He completely surprised me, which is incredibly hard to do. I knew it was coming soon because I kept uncovering all of the secrets he was trying to keep from me, but in the end he definitely got me.
We had planned a trip to NYC to celebrate our anniversary, and we had several friends that decided to join us for the festivities. We left Thursday evening so that everyone on the trip could use fewer vacation days, and just make it an extended weekend of fun. The flight was completely ordinary until we were about 30 minutes from landing, and that’s when things got interesting (and everyone was in on it)!
B decided to turn on the overhead light, which instantly annoyed me since everyone on the plane was trying to sleep. He said he had a present for me, and I asked him if he needed the light. He pulled out the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book from his backpack and handed it to me. We already had several copies of this book at home from merging our libraries as well as on our e-readers that were with it, but I went along with things. I opened the book and he’d written a sweet note inside, and he then instructed me to turn the page. After flipping a few pages, I come across a cutout in the book exposing my favorite quote, and better yet, over the quote the most beautiful ring was hanging.
He proposed on the plane! As we landed the flight attendants announced our exciting news to the flight, and Jet Blue even tweeted us a congratulations. Definitely a proposal to remember, and an incredible way to start off a great vacation, engagement, and life together.
Can’t wait to share the trials and tribulations and excitement through the planning process of our wedding!
xoxo,
Emily
