I am once again totally jumping on Michele's bandwagon. Over at her blog, Imperfectly Wonderful World, she's started Flashback Fridays to reflect on or remember events that weren't blogged, which I think is completely awesome.
And today just happens to be the three-year anniversary of the day my now-husband and I got engaged.
It was a beautiful October day (and as I write this, we are enjoying stunning weather that is exactly what we savored three years ago) and Freddy brought me to Manhattan to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Prior to that, he insisted we take photos of the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park for his mom to scrapbook. This proves my husband's brilliance: he made sure I dressed appropriately and remembered my camera.
After I yelled at the two birds to get off the wing of the angel (they remained for the photo), I turned around and there was Freddy, on his knee, asking if I would do him the honor of marrying him.
I am still so grateful to the mystery woman who heard me squealing with joy and snapped this photo for us.
Following the wonderful moment, we strolled through Central Park calling all our family and friends to share the news until we arrived at Tavern on the Green (now, sadly closed) where champange and a dozen roses awaited us at the table in the Crystal Room.
Oh how I still adore my sapphire and diamond ring. He knew exactly what I wanted and chose the perfect ring for me.
And then, to top the day off, Freddy reserved a limo to take us back home to celebrate with our families who were waiting for us to celebrate at dinner.
And tonight we will remember the day with dinner out together, remembering the day we said "yes."
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
