A Snow Globe Proposal

 

Nicole & Brian

The Proposal

I planned a cute date weekend for Nicole and I to Stillwater, MN. It was a perfect weekend for the trip. The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time shopping at boutique shops, an apple orchard, a wonderful lunch, and a tour of Stillwater on the trolley.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and since our dinner reservations were for later that evening, I had packed us a picnic snack. Well, that’s what I told her at least… So we headed to the park, picnic basket in hand, for a “snack”. I reached into the basket, and started by pulling out a cute card, and then a single red rose. While she was smelling the rose, I got dressed appropriately for the next step. This included a fedora hat that I occasionally wear. Nicole loves this hat, and once told me that I should be wearing it when I propose to her.

I had a few more gifts for Nicole in the basket. I had built her a snow globe; something she loves. I had put a considerable amount of effort into making this; it contains an etched glass heart with the words: “Nicole, will you marry me?”. As Nicole was admiring the snow globe, I grabbed the last gift out of the basket, the ring! I got down on one knee and asked her the biggest question I’ve ever asked anyone! The response was a very clear “YES!” and came without hesitation!

My night of surprise plans wasn’t over just yet… We had reservations on a riverboat dinner cruise, with our parents waiting on board to celebrate with us! After that, I surprised her with an amazing, romantic room waiting for us at the historic Lowell Inn, complete with rose petals and candles!

The Engagement Ring

The engagement ring is a 3 stone princess cut with 4 channel diamonds on each side, 1 karat total weight, from Rogers and Hollands.
