OK... I know this may not be the first engagement by a fortune cookie, but it's something I will never forget.

 

We got engaged on August 1st, 2009. My fiancee asked me to marry him via a fortune cookie. I was talking to him on the phone while he was driving over to visit. I asked him if he wanted me to throw a couple of steaks on the grill for dinner and he said that he felt like going to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. So, I picked a place close to my house that neither of us had been to before.

 

What I did not know is that my fiancee had this fortune cookie in his jacket pocket that he had specially ordered with a ring and fortune inside that said "XXXXX, Will You Marry Me". He also had the real engagement ring in his jacket pocket. His plans were to talk to the waitress and have her bring the fortune cookie to me at the end of the meal. But the restaurant was an open set-up, so he didn't get a chance to do pull her aside. At the end of the meal, we had our leftovers boxed up and went home.

 

When we got home he was said, let's open our fortune cookies. He was pushing me to open mine first, which I thought was strange. When I opened the fortune cookie, I noticed that the fortune had my name on it; it said "XXXXX, will you marry me" and had a ring in it. He had my real engagement ring in a separate box. My engagement ring is garnet with diamonds around it and the band (garnet is my birthstone and diamond is his). My fiancee says the thing he will remember most about that day is that about 30 minutes after he proposed, I asked him, “Did I say Yes?â€

 

I was so proud of him for pulling it off and surprising me!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
