smitten: a proposal story


just a small morning diversion: joanna goddard was kind enough to include ac and me in her smitten blog over at glamour. she’s doing a series on proposal stories (told from both sides) and kicked things off with the two of us. it was so fun to re-live that night and see a photo of the table where it all happened. click here to check it out. thanks, joanna!

I thought this was such a moving story… and so REAL, which I appreciate. The big elaborate thing isn’t for me, so I loved your intimate proposal. And sweet photos!

The photo of you (third from the left on the bottom) says it all. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more perfect photo of a woman in love.

This story is SO cute. Sweet and simple is always the best. You guys are so cute together and reading this made my day.

Oh! Thanks so much for that link. I am tearing up here at work. I think it’s so funny, I had the same experience at my proposal, like someone had turned the sound off. All I remember was a rushing sound in my head. Best of luck to you both!
