This
family business is busy with weddings every weekend
typically doing approximately 25 weddings per weekend during
their busy season, some of which include a complete overhaul
of an outdoor space including tents, tables, chairs, linens,
dishes and accessories. With that many events, it would be
easy to wonder if quality gets lost in the numbers... |
 
most romantic proposal:
'Valentines Day Proposal!' by secondtimebride
 I was widowed 6
years ago at age 42 and left to raise my 3 children. I basically thought my
life was over. I dated a few men about 4 years after my husband died but
most of them were after one thing only. Then I met Don. I had placed an ad
in the personal column of the Guelph Mercury and he read it in the Hamilton
Spectator! We met for coffee at Tim's and spent 4 hours talking! The rest is
history. He gave me a beautiful diamond eternity band at Christmas but did
not ask me to marry him then, only to spend eternity with him. To me that
was heaven. But on Valentines Day 2004 he arranged with my parents to watch
the kids and he took me to Niagara on
the Lake. We walked around the stores in the snow, took a horse and buggy
ride and walked down by the lake, it was beautiful. When we went to supper,
the restaurant was all done in pink, red and white for valentines day. We
had a beautiful table by the fireplace, with candles, and flowers on it, all
set up by him earlier in the day when I was taking a nap. After supper, he
started telling me how much he loved me and my children, and then he got up,
came around the table, got down on one knee (he is 50 and has a bad knee, so
this was a lot for him), and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him.
Of course we both started crying and I said yes! The whole restaurant
cheered and the waiter gave us free drinks. It was the most romantic day of
my life.
my diary fave: 'Close' by
Cilairus
I just realized there is
only 3 and a half months to go! I'm starting to panic cuz there are a bunch
of things to do like getting favours, getting a bunch of decorations,
getting a song for the ceremony and getting the music together. Is anybody
else feeling the same thing?
