I managed to get out of town for a bit during the holidays for a little R & R and while having a quiet dinner with my husband, I was reminded of how the journey to a wedding begins.
It was getting towards the end of the evening and while I was waiting for my dessert to arrive, I could see out of the corner of my eye one of the servers taking 2 champagne flutes to a couple that was sitting behind me. By the time I had turned around, the gentleman had already gotten down on one knee and was placing a lovely ring on the finger of his tearful beloved. Hugs, all joy and happiness.
First time ever. I thought that’s kind of cool.
While I was pondering that and enjoying a rather sinful chocolate dessert, another proposal took place. This time about 5 tables in front of me another chivalrous gesture took place on bended knee. A surprise proposal complete with an earnest question and a ring.
Two in one night…a lovely reminder that out of those incredibly personal moments come all the ideas and inspirations for a beautiful wedding.
