This is a post that I wrote way back in December 2008, but I was waiting for photos from friends. We finally got them. So even though we already got married, hate to waste a good post!I guess there are lots of creative engagements, but I have to give credit where credit is due and say that my guy Alex did good for an unusual proposal.
We attended a friend’s Christmas party this past Saturday, an annual event that usually has a guest list of 40 or more people. After a couple of hours of socializing, Santa Claus arrived as a surprise to all of the guests. Santa made the rounds, wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas!” and then sat down for photos. Most everyone was getting their photo taken with Santa and they called for Alex and I to come over to get a picture too. We quickly posed with Santa and got our photo. As I stood to leave, Santa stopped me and said, “I’ve actually got a present for you.” He reached into his bag and pulled out a small wrapped box.
Alex and I have already reserved the wedding chapel, I’ve already bought the wedding dress. I have to admit, I knew what was in the box. However, having 40 or so people looking (5 of which were snapping the photos to the left), I was pretty embrassed-my face was red and my hands were trembling. I opened the box and then handed the interior ring box to Alex, who, by this time, was on his knee. Alex asked, in true Alex-Fashion “ARE you going to marry me?”
Of course I said yes – the deposit on the chapel is non-refundable and I can’t return the wedding dress! I joke, of course, as I thought the proposal was very sweet. I guess I’ll keep him around.
Who out there has had a really creative or unusual proposal?
