Proposal Story:

We went to one of our favorite places called Longwood Gardens. The grounds are absolutely beautiful! After walking around for a couple hours and seeing all of the gardens we took a break and sat down on a couple steps overlooking topiaries. I took out a photo album that I had put together containing pictures from the last 4 years of our relationship. Mixed in with these pictures were some 5x7 photos that I had altered in PhotoShop. On each photo I placed a word to spell out "Will You Marry Me". I proposed as we viewed the book together containing memories from our past.
