Incredible Engagement Stories - Julia & Chris
Since our last blog asking for couples to send us their engagement & weddings stories, we’ve literally recieved thousands of entries. We will be posting a series of particularly romantic, funny, unique, cute, sentimental stories. Here is the first of many to come, but this one was just so “meticulous” and perfectly planned by the Chris that we had to share with you their amazing engagement story:
Julie & Chris

Part 1: Wednesday, July 15, 2009.
We had an appetizer night planned one Wednesday evening. We do this every so often; just the two of us . . . a night in to relax, drink wine, eat at our leisure, and talk about life. Leading up to the day Chris was unusually excited but I thought nothing of it. That Wednesday night he handed me an envelope. Inside was a story book he had made. I flipped through and started reading. I was dumbstruck, I was confused, but I kept reading in anticipation. I started to realize that he was taking me somewhere. But where? When? I read on. The look on his face as he watched me is something I’ll always remember. I knew something good was coming. The end of the story finally came… We were leaving for Banff in less than 48 hours! (We live in Ontario). As you can imagine I had too many questions. What? How? What about work? What about our cottage plans for that weekend? He had answers for them all. Many people were in on it, including my boss. I was baffled.
Part 2: Monday, July 20, 2009.
Hiking in Banff National Park, Corey Pass to be exact. It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect. After the long excruciating hike to the top, the pain and exhausting was all worth it and suddenly forgotten about. It was pure beauty! Alone enjoying a picnic lunch and staring down at mountains, lakes and valleys with my most favorite person in the world. What an experience! After a while, we decided it was time to depart for our journey down, but I wasn’t satisfied just yet; I wanted pictures of the two of us - our signature tri-pod and remote control setup, as we always do. In the midst of our goofing around with the camera, there suddenly came a mysterious pause. Again, I was puzzled with what was going on. Why was he suddenly acting strange, why did he stop taking pictures? Then, he dropped to one knee and I saw the ring in his fingers. I was marveled. My feelings at that time are indescribable. I was still trying to comprehend how it was that we were in Banff on so little notice, let alone that now I was about to be engaged! I grabbed his hands and they were shaking. He looked so happy, and I bet I did too. His planning, his thoughtfulness, the effort, the details . . . meticulous! I love him more than anything and was so honored to be the one he has chosen to spend the rest of his life with. I forgot to say ‘yes’ at that moment, but we just knew. Nothing had to be said. The picture uploaded was taken about 5 minutes after he proposed. I was still in shock!
Julie & Chris, we at Bridal Fantasy wish you all the best with your future together and we hope you have fun during your wedding adventure!
