The Story Of How We Got Engaged

Every story has a beginning and you never know when the beginning of your future story will start. When it comes to Brandon and my story, it began in the summer of 2010.  I didn’t know it then but when I walked into the bank on July 15, 2010, my life had changed forever. If you would have told me then that my “Bank Teller” was going to be my future husband, I would have thought you were crazy. Although this was the beginning of our story together.

We spend the entire summer together, some would say we were inseparable. It wasn’t until September 7th, 2010 that Brandon officially asked me to be his girlfriend. He took me downtown Chicago and asked me in Millennium Park right next to “the Bean”. This day was very special to us; the beginning of our relationship together as a couple. Little did we know just how important that day was going to be in our future.

A walk through our journey

We went back to the city each year on our anniversary. We love being able to spend the day in the city.  We never like to do the same thing twice, except for “the Bean” of course. It really gives us a chance to see all of the wonders of Chicago.

On our 2 year anniversary, Brandon took us back to Millennium Park. We had someone take a picture of us in the same spot that he asked me out and then he gave me a big hug and kiss. He then told me how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. To my surprise he then got down on one knee and lovingly looked into my eyes and said:

“Elisabeth, 2 years ago today I asked you to be my girlfriend and today I have one more question for you.” He then pulled out the ring and then said “Will you marry me?”Brandon Preposed next to the Bean downtown Chicago in Millennium Park After we spent the day around town, Brandon and I had dinner reservations at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hancock. It was the perfect way to end a perfect day. Not only did we get to see the entire city’s skyline but we also had the privilege of watching the sun set during our amazing dinner!

During dinner we had plenty of time to talk about setting the day for our big day! I am excited to announce to you that we will be married September 7th, 2013! September 7th is going to be a day that I will never forget!

Do you remember a special day in your life that you will never forget? Are you married? How did your husband propose? Do you have any advice that you would like to share with me?
