The Meet

It was a 21st Century Romance

I was looking for romance in Scotland. He lived in Gresham and was looking for someone to do his laundry (totally kidding!!!). We ended up on the same dating site and the rest is history. We like to say Donnie is from Gresham, Scotland.

The Proposal

03-18-2019

She had convinced herself that all magical opportunities for a proposal had passed, at least for the foreseeable future, so it was just going to be a nice birthday dinner out with the man she loved. They went to the nicest restaurant in town and were taken to a lovely table in the balcony. As they were enjoying their wine, she looked down and saw her daughter Melyssa running by with Bloom in her arms. She mentioned it, but made up a story as to why they would be there because she was not going to get her hopes up. A bit later, he excused himself to use the restroom, something he NEVER does, which she thought was weird, but she still refused to believe. Suddenly, she heard, "If I could get your attention please, today is a special birthday for a very special lady right up there." She looked down. He was talking about her! And her entire family was surrounding him as he said, "I brought her family here to show her I have their permission to give her one more present for her birthday. Sharleé, we have had a magical journey and I thought maybe we could continue that journey as husband and wife. Will you marry me?" The caterer, band, and venue are booked and we are so excited to get the party started!! It will be like nothing you would ever dream, but what will take it to the moon is to have you there to celebrate with us. The countdown is on!
