Every once in awhile in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale

We met online but never thought we’d cross paths in real life! We lived in two different states so the odds were so low. Who would of thought we’d both be at the same Fred Meyer? Everything changed when we locked eyes in the sock aisle. It was as if I had been looking for him my entire life and then suddenly my whole world was complete.

The proposal was absolutely perfect. He spent weeks planning out this amazing scavenger hunt at the downtown Portland Powell’s bookstore. He gathered my favorite book titles and picked specific quotes out of each story that related to our relationship. After selecting enough, he wrote them on bookmarks and hid them in the books throughout the store! Once I arrived, I was sent on an epic scavenger hunt and little did I know, my final clue would be hidden in the rare book room, home of some of the oldest books in the world. Once I arrived there after finding my last clue, Matt showed up behind me and got down on one knee. It’s was absolutely perfect and I said yes!
