We have a new venue!

I am one of the hardest people to surprise. One of my best friends recently got engaged and invited me to test a caterer with her. Her fiance wasn’t going to be able to make it that evening, so she wanted to make it a girl’s night with another friend and her daughters and get dressed up. The day of the "tasting" arrived, February 29th. In the back of my head, I wondered if this may be a cover for Matt proposing. My friends picked me up and I noticed we were heading towards that same walking/jogging spot that Matt and I love. I got a little suspicious about that but tried to brush it off. As we parked, I looked around to see if I could see Matt’s car (still had some hope this was a cover) but it was nowhere to be seen. My friend had a physical address for the caterer and it matched up with one of the houses we were parked near, so I was a bit disappointed. We walked towards the house and then my friend’s daughters asked if we could look out over the balcony (they didn’t know what was going on) and my friends said yeah, we have a few minutes. As we are enjoying the beautiful sun setting view, I hear an acoustic guitar start playing. I turn around and there is Matt walking down the hill across from us with his coworker playing the guitar and some of our friends and family. Matt started singing the first few lines from “I Can’t Help Falling In Love” and then told me several things he loved about me and asked if I would give him the honor of becoming his wife. Of course I said yes! and he slipped the most beautiful ring on my finger. We took some photos with all of our friends and family and then went to thai food for dinner. It was beautiful and magical and beyond what I could have hoped for, especially at one of our favorite places.
