- Wedding: August 2016 - Outdoor & Barn
IT HAPPENED! After 5 years of dating my best friend he popped the question and asked me to marry him on Monday, November 10th 2014 !
The Story:
So since I live in Alberta where it is obviously cold at this time of year I immediatly got suspecious when he asked me to go on a walk with him to the river valley (where we always go with our dog) right before the sun began to set but I went along with him anyways! Soon after we got there (because it was freezing!) he walked me towards theBear (our dog) so I looked and on the tag it said “will you marry my dad!” I immediatly began to giggle I couldnt help my excitment and my nerves! Lol! He then grabbed my hands and started telling me some of the sweetest reasons of why he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He then got down on one knee and presented the most perfect and beautiful ring! I was sooo happy I forgot to say yes and just instantly went in and kissed him! lol
To top it all off he had a photographer hiding in the trees the entire time catching the entire proposal! Exactlly what I hoped for! Pictures come in 1-2 weeks, I cant wait to see them!
Thanks for letting me share my proposal stories I would love to hear more! Also where to start?! Are wedding is not till August 2016 but is it too early to start planning (we already booked our dream venue!)
Also engagement parties?! Love to hear more on it and when to hold it??
Thanks so much :]

So amazingly sweet!!! I’m afraid I have no tips for you since I was only recently engaged myself and haven’t done a thing towards planning anything. Just wanted to say how much I love your story and that your ring looks just perfect on your hand!

Congratulations!!!! He did such a great job!!
You already booked your venue, and that’s the first thing you should do anyways. Other things, you can wait for… Maybe you can start looking into photographers?
Also, engagement parties, if throwing one, are good to have within a few months of the proposal. Happy planning!

daisymarie: Beautiful!! Congrats! I think engagement parties here (USA) are typically thrown by friends or by family members, but I could be wrong. Enjoy planning! Is your venue in Alberta?

daisymarie: It might be too early, but it never hurts to contact her and see if she’s booking for 2016! If they’re usually in high demand, they’ll take reservations early!

MstoMrsH: Thank you! Yeah I mentioned it to my parents and they may plan it for me! Although I am kinda a control freak when it comes to planning so I probably will be quite involved lol!
And yes! We live in Edmonton currently but our venue is near Olds, Alberta!

sway0060: Oh I was just in Red Deer yesterday on our drive to view our venue! lol
Its waaaay too cold here! But yeah I have always loved Calgary more just got to convince the Fiance (soo weird to say lol) to love it as much as me. He loves being near our families and they all live about an hour and a half north of Edmonton so its tough trying to add another 3 hours to that trip! lol
