Anchors Away!

This proposal story was submitted to us by a bride who will be getting married here at Tapestry House next Spring.  We loved her story so much that we wanted to feature it here so you all can read it!  Here is what she wrote:

"Although I knew for a long time my sailor finance, AC2 Bruce, would be proposing to me, I really didn't suspect a thing when we went to the Navy ball here in Virginia last October.  We had a wonderful meal, we danced cheek to cheek, and even tried not to bump into the Vice Admiral while he busted some moves with his wife right beside us!"  (Sounds like a lot of fun, right?!  We love dancing and a ball sounds really exciting!!)

The bride goes on to say:  "It was only after the evening ended and we stepped outside the hotel on the way back to the car that something began to seem fishy.  He started acting kind of nervous, and made a somewhat random suggestion we take a walk (in the cold wind, after midnight!) across the street to a waterside walkway.  I really didn't want to walk anywhere after having danced in heels all night and after telling him this, I nervously laughed out, "What, were you gonna propose to me?"  I immediately regretted the comment, though, because it was obvious what was going on--but he didn't say a word and assured me I hadn't ruined anything.  When we got home, though, before we could so much as take off our shoes, he sat on the arm of the couch and called me over.  He told me he was nervous, and when I  asked why he said, "Because I don't know how it goes."  He got down on one knee and said, "Like this?"  Of course, I immediately started bawling."

And we know how this story ends!  She said yes, and now they are in the process of planning a beautiful wedding here at Tapestry House!  We are so glad that Hannah shared this story with us and we wish her and Bruce all the best as they finish up this planning process and cannot wait to be a part of their wedding in the Spring!!
