Engagment Story
(as told by Holly)
As I walked off the plane Friday night, Jamie greeted me with a hug and a gift of my favorite candy. The week had been hard but my sanity was kept in check by the promise of a wonderful weekend. He greeted me with a card that read, ‘My Sweet Girl’ and expressed his heart as to why I deserved such a title. Upon my arrival home, a beautiful bouquet of flowers and another gift that read ‘My Beautiful Queen’ welcomed me. I began to relax as the foot massaging lotion that had been wrapped was quickly put to use.
Jamie came over the next morning and cooked breakfast while I got ready for the day. At the table sat an amazing breakfast and my favorite childhood movie with a note that read, ‘My Best Friend’. He then dropped me off for my prearranged ‘Day of Beauty’ at the salon. While receiving my manicure a fourth gift was brought to me. A scented candle was attached to a card that read ‘Light of my Life’.
Walking off of cloud nine, Jamie picked me up and whisked me away for a private dinner overlooking Lake Washington. The night began to draw to an end when he surprised me with one last gift. The waiter brought a small gift on a silver platter with a card that read ‘The Love of my Life’. Jamie took the gift, got down on one knee and said,
Holly, will you do me the honor of allowing me to…
protect you,
nurture you,
provide for you,
honor you,
serve you,
and above all else, love you for the rest of my life?
Holly, will you marry me??
Yes.
