Congratulations to my lovely friends Kristy and Jonathan, who got engaged over the weekend. She gave me the go ahead to share her story with you; it’s adorable, and has K+J written all over it!!!
We arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake on Friday and from the minute we set
foot in the town, he was already pointing at every open grassland and
saying “Oh! That’s a nice place! Lets go for a walk there later on”.
If you know him, you’d know that he’s the last person to want to
“walk” around; however, I was clueless! His suggestions continued
during dinner, and on Saturday during breakfast. By Saturday morning
I had an idea that he had something in store, but didn’t know what.
We walked around the lake/river, and the whole time I was cursing that
it was so cold and that my ears would fall off from frostbite. I
wanted to go back inside to the warmth of the hotel; however he
persisted that we continue walking. We stumbled upon Fort George, an
old fort that was closed for the winter. We walked around the fort to
an open field where he then pulled out a box from his pocket and said
“I got you something”.
I said, “Wow! Is it my birthday?!” I opened it and found a ring
inside. I asked what it was, and he said “it’s an engagement ring”.
At this moment most people would start to cry, but I started to laugh
out of sheer surprise.
He continued to stand there while I kept saying, “What?! What?!” and
giggling. For a few minutes I could not say anything. It all seemed
like a blur. Then I said “wait a minute, aren’t you supposed to get
on your knee and ask me something?” He did and I said YES!
I’m still in shock that I am now “engaged” and totally surprised that
he managed to sneak past my radar to buy a ring.

Congratulations to the both of you, and welcome to the Wonderful World of Weddings!!!
