A Magic Tree Proposal

 

Kerry & Devin

Their First Date

“Our first official date as a couple was Valentines Day a couple of years back. Devin secretly called my mom for the recipe for my favorite meal. He cooked it and had created a cute little menu. It was delicious. He of course had candy, wine and candles and dozens of roses and rose petals on the path from his driveway to his door. It was a total surprise. I thought it was just going to be a very low key ordinary night but he made it extraordinary! He’s a romantic and I’m one lucky girl!”

The Proposal

“I thought I was going to a Chamber of Commerce event at the local college, Penn State, where we met 8 years ago. But when I got there I got the surprise of a lifetime! As soon as I got out of my car and started walking through the parking lot I saw a table with candles and pictures on it. There was a couple looking at the table and then at me, then back at the table and back at me. At first I thought it was something the Chamber of Commerce put out for their event.

“When I walked up to the table and saw pictures of us I almost died of shock. He had a handmade book that was the story of our journey up to that point with a poem inside. There were three more tables of memories and photos of Devin and myself along the path leading to the tree outside the college classroom where we first met. There were directions on the last table telling me to read all of the “promises” hung in the tree!  After reading all of the promises there was a note tied to a key that said to open the chest sitting under the tree to see his last promise.

“I was not sure where Devin was at this point but later found out he was watching from inside the building. I opened the wooden chest locked with an antique heart shaped lock. When I opened the box it said  “I promise to marry you”. Inside the chest he also placed a picture of my Dad (RIP) and Devin’s Mom(RIP) and a memorial candle for them. Devin snuck up among my happy tears and got on one knee and asked me to marry him. My mom and his Dad were watching from inside another building close by! He had hidden cameras there to capture it!”

The Engagement Ring

“It was no secret that I love oval shape diamonds. He got me a beautiful oval in a split shank halo mounting by Gabriel & Co. He picked the mounting all by himself. He really surprised me because the diamond was so much bigger than I had ever expected! I love it!”
