memorial day ok?

[Jeff O]

Is it okay to get engaged on memorial day?
Thoughts please

 

[Jeff O]

actually it will be tomorrow

 

[MissAva]

I dont see any reason why not. Unless you are wanting the date to be important since memorial day changes every year. How are you planning to ask?

 

[Jeff O]

Doing it today on water

 

[Kaleigh]

Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

 

[Jeff O]

[Kaleigh]

OKay, I had her pick out a shell at the beach where we first met the day before. She had no idea what was going on. I took her the next day on my father''s boat in the gulf of mexico for sunset. We played this game called Mancala and I hid the shell in the game pieces. The shell said marry me. As she was looking at the shell I was getting on one knee and proposing at sunset. It was beautiful. There were dolphins and it was very romantic. She was so surprised. Then I got out the hidden champagne. We got back in and her parents and my parents were their to greet us. We then had a nice dinner at the Ritz Carlton. Very nice!

Even for lunch that day we went to the place where we had our first date!

Surprise
