Now, the above proposal photo might look a little strange (unfinished concrete flooring...) but there is a very sweet story behind it. I, Kerri, am very hard to surprise especially then with my suspicions of an upcoming proposal. As many people know, Kyle and I recently purchased a condo in DC. Because the condo is brand new and was still under construction at the time, we were able to select the flooring, cabinets, tile, etc. We even had the option to add a fireplace, which we definitely said yes to! One Friday, I received an email from the developer's sales agent requesting Kyle and I come in to determine where we wanted the fireplace on the wall. Thinking it was a bit odd but not knowing it was out of the ordinary, we agreed to come in the following Monday. Naturally, I decide I want to work from home that day. 4:30 pm rolls around, I throw on some sweats and Kyle and I walk from our current apartment to the condo (a quick 5 min walk). We walk in to the sales office, the sales agent greets us and leads us to our unit to determine where on the wall we want the fireplace. I walk into our unit and there are candles lit down the hallway to the living room with flowers in the middle. I knew right then what was happening and could not have been happier :) It was a very special proposal in our soon-to-be first home together.
