So my FI and I have been together for 7 years and we have two children. We have been talking about getting married but I was still very much surprised when he actually proposed....

 

It was my birthday week-end and I wanted to go to Times Square New York for the day. So my mom agreed to babysit our kids for the whole week-end. So I dropped our kids off with my mom that Friday night and right before going to bed my FI told me that in the morning he was going to get up early to get the car ready and get money out etc. So when I woke up Saturday morning he was gone for about an hour, when he returned we got in the car and took off for New York.

 

I was driving (because I get car sick if I am not driving LOL) so he was sitting in the passenger seat video taping me as I am driving explaining where we were going etc. I am thinking ok he has the camera out because we are going to NY I am not thinking anything of it (well he actually had it because he wanted to document the whole day). So we arrive to NY its 3 weeks before Christmas so everything down there was decorated and was amazing to look at. We went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, ate, walked around, went into all of the shops, we attempted ice skating at Bryant Park but the line was way too long so we just took in the beautiful atmosphere. The whole day was gorgeous.

 

By nightfall we headed back to Times Square and in the center there are big red bleachers for tourists to climb to the top and get a view of the entire Times Square area. So My FI said to me I want to go to the top of those bleachers. So we made our way through the crowd to the top. While standing up there the view was amazing. FI was videotaping everything (we have a huge portrait of Times Square in our living room, the picture is black and white and the cabbies are yellow its an awesome picture) so he turns to me (with the video camera) and he says "So you know we are standing right where that picture we have in our living room was taken." I said "Oh Yeah we are." and he says "Yeah but right now that picture doesn't mean anything to us." and I said "What do you mean it's a nice picture?" and he says "Yeah but it doesn't mean anything." I looked confused at this point and I said "Well what do youwant to do?" and he says "You should scream out "I LOVE NEW YORK!"I said "I am not doing that are you crazy there are all of these people here!" and he says "Well then how about this...so I turned to him and he was holding the camera in one hand and the ring in the other!! I started freaking out!!! I was so excited and of course I said "YES!!"

 

So the next morning FI was on the computer putting all of the videos together. So I sat next to him and he said I want to show you something so he pulls up a video that he made that Friday night before we left, he is talking into the camera explaining what he was planning on doing the next day, he zooms in on our picture on our living room wall saying that is where he was going to propose and he zooms in on the ring etc. It was so nice. Then he says "I have one more video to show you" and I said "ok"…

 

So the video is him walking outside and I see trees behind him, I am wondering where is he at? So he starts talking into the camera, "So today I am going to ask Tiffany to marry me but there is one thing I have to do first before I ask her, I know how much this meant to her so I really hope she appreciates it." He then turns the camera around and he is at the cemetery....my dad had past away in 2008 unexpectedly and it has been a huge devastation for me and my family. I was a daddy's girl and I had told my FI years ago that if he ever wanted to marry me he had to ask my dad for permission, but when my dad passed away I kind of thought that request went with it...well my FI made it happen...he walked up to my dad's grave stone placed the camera on top of it and he got down and he started talking to my dad he said "Hello Mr. Marcus, I am coming to you today to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage...I don’t really expect an answer but if you can just give me a sign that we have your blessing"...he told my dad that he was debating how to go about this he was not sure if he should ask my mom or one of my brothers but he kept coming back to the fact that he knew I wanted him to ask my dad... he then promised my dad that he would love me and take care of me and he hoped that he will be just as good of a husband and father as my dad was etc. He went on for about 10 minutes!!!

 

I was hysterically crying! It was the most amazing thing he could have ever done. The fact that he knew how much that meant to me just adds to the many reasons why I want to spend the rest of my life with him!! 

 

I told my FI "Daddy did bless our day because the weather and the whole day were gorgeous and everything went perfectly!!" I know my dad is in heaven crying tears of joy!!

Thank you so much! He really did an awesome job! Everyone who hears our story cries. It definitely is a story I will be telling for the rest of my life! My FI did not tell anyone in my family he was going to propose that week-end so I joked with them and said that Daddy knew before everybody else!!

      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!
