On my 27th birthday, Matt surprised me with a special day that was planned out months in advance. We had been living in Chicago since September, and were always on the lookout for new restaurants to try. We started the day with brunch at Cindy's Rooftop, enjoying a light breakfast and the gorgeous views overlooking Chicago's Millennium Park. Braving the winter cold, we stood out on their balcony and enjoyed a cocktail by the outdoor fire pit. After brunch, Matt led me on a walk through the city to our next destination. As we approached the Wrigley Building Christmas tree, I immediately asked him if we could stop and take a picture in front of it. Little did I know this actually was our next stop, and he hired a professional photographer to take a Christmas card photo of us. To my surprise the photographer was actually there to capture the most perfect proposal in front of the Christmas tree. After the proposal, we headed back to our apartment to share the wonderful news with our families and friends. We then continued celebrating, going to a pop-up Christmas bar and finishing the night at Alinea for dinner. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you all back in MA!
