Aaron and I had been dating for almost 2 years when he proposed. I knew that he was going to in the near future, but I just didn’t know when exactly! On Easter weekend (April 3, 2010), Aaron and I had planned to do some Eastery things together, since it’s my favourite holiday. I took the bus to his house and we both had made easter egg baskets for eachother as kind of a childhood tradition. I gave mine to him, and he said he’d give mine to me later. He had daffodils (my favourite) for me at his house when I got there.

We had a bit of lunch, and decided to go out for a walk while it was still nice outside. We had a little spot by the river near his house that we loved going for walks on since we’d started dating. We took our time walking - he brought his camera along and took pictures along the way. We got close to our spot and he asked me to wait where I was for a minute, while he went closer and tore a paper off of a tree. I figured he had just set up an easter egg hunt for me (also my favourite). We got closer and he gave me a basket and told me to go for it. I started hunting for eggs while he took pictures, and after a while found them all!

After that, we sat down on a log to relax and enjoy some of the candy. He then said he had one more egg, cause he didn’t want to put it into a plastic egg. It was a kinder surprise, and we opened it and started to eat the chocolate, and me being the kid I am, I opened up the toy part….aaand lost my breath. Inside was my ring, surrounded with easter grass. He had carefully cut the chocolate and taken the toy out, replacing it with my ring! I was completely shocked, speechless and beyond excited. he got down on one knee, taking the ring and a piece of paper out of his pocket where he’d written down everything he wanted to say to me. He read everything and then proceeded to ask me to marry him… and I just hugged him and cried. Then realized I hadn’t said yes yet. :) I finally said “OF COURSE!”. We went back and skyped my parents who live in England, and called just about everyone we could. We’re getting married May 14th, 2011…and I have to say, I can’t wait to marry my best friend!

Bridal Fantasy thinks that the engagement sounded like it was both romantic and very fun. Good job Aaron and congrats to the both of you!
