The Most Romantic Marriage Proposal Ever?

This NYC groom-to-be arranged for his friends to set the rooftop scene,

one hundred and fifty polaroids on which he had written things that he loved about his girlfriend

were strung along rows of lights....

how romantic is that??!!

I smiled all the way through this....it's so beautiful, as is the lovely girl featured in it....

From the bride-to-be… 

My fiance Garrett Goodwin proposed to me on a rooftop in NYC. He plays in a band and it was difficult for him to set the “stage” so our good friends truly helped out. Garrett shipped a box full of lights and 150 polaroid pictures of him and I with 150 things written that he loves about me to a good friend who set it up while we were at dinner. We were going to visit a friend at their apartment and literally had to climb about five sets of fire escape stairs to get onto the roof. I was completely and utterly surprised as you can see in the video! It was a dream come true!

The Proposal : Happy Valentine's Day

....the most romantic moment of my life wasn't my wedding day....

it was, far and away, the moment my husband proposed to me.

I've talked about it on my blog before ....

it was a Sunday in December in NYC & we'd paused for a quiet moment whilst cycling around Central Park on our rented bikes.

It was a movie-style romantic moment.

Sixteen years ago but I can still remember as though it was just last year.

The crowds melted away & it was just us.

It was a total surprise....

I can remember he was halfway through his speech before my brain (and my heart) realised what was about to happen.

My whole world changed in that moment....

I can remember feeling that everything somehow looked different afterwards.

It still takes my breath away when I think about it.

It is without doubt, the most perfect & special moment of my life.

We are bound together, whatever challenges we face....it's us against that big ol' world.

To my husband....

for being there day after day.... 

for all the good qualities that make you you....

for being a safe pair of hands & for having a warm & generous heart.

I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day.

this is one of my favourite ever wedding pictures....such an elegant & stunning couple 

We always exchange a gift, sometimes just something small but special....

it's always the thought that counts.

Such lovely candles here .....

such a beautiful & romantic gift, personalised & scented.

Perfect for Valentine's Day!
