We got engaged almost a year and a half years ago, in February 2012.
I was in between jobs at the time, and we decided to go to Disney
World for a week, since I'm a big Disney fan but have never been to
Disney World before.
On our second night at Disney, we had a dinner reservation at Cinderella's Royal Castle:
I ordered shrimp cocktails and beef tenderloin, which was so-so (I
find that most of the character dining restaurants focuses more on the
character experience and less on the food anyways):
I knew something was up when the waiter came and told me my "special
dessert" was ready. The dessert was hidden beneath a silver dome. When
he lifted the dome, this was what I saw:
Everything
after that was really a blur... I was so overcome with emotion that I
couldn't quite recall what happened. Thank goodness for Disney
Photographers on scene to capture the moments! G got down on one knee
and said something which I presumed was along the lines of "will you
marry me". It was so beautiful and romantic. Not to mention perfect
for a girly girl like me! :)
The
whole restaurant cheered when I said "yes". It was such a happy
feeling to know that everyone there was sharing their best wishes with
us. We left the restaurant just in time for the "Wishes" fireworks
outside the castle, which again, was so incredibly magical.
We
continued to wander around Magic Kingdom afterwards and came across
Tinker Bell's Magical Nook. We didn't know if the nook was still open
as it was close to midnight at that point, but and as it turns out,
Tinker Bell and her friends were there! They made a big scene when then
found out we just got engaged. Here is a picture of us totally
embarrassed by all the attention:
Tinker Bell LOVED my engagement ring. This is one of my favorite pictures - Tinker Bell's eyes were so dramatic!
It
was the PERFECT proposal. Not to mention Disney gave us these "Just
Engaged" buttons so for the rest of the trip all the cast members and
other guests kept congratulating us. :)
