Have you
ever wanted to be a fly on the wall? At a recent Bridal Show our staff polled
many happy couples and got the goods on unique and "engaging" ways that
started their path to the altar.
Margaret
and Ben ~ As a struggling student, Ben was
typically broke. It took all
semester but finally he had enough to purchase the ring he planned on presenting
to Margaret prior to his departure to grad school. Having no money left
for a romantic night on the town, Ben decided to compromise. As was
their custom the young couple settled into a relaxing evening of backgammon.
Margaret was shocked on her third roll when, with the dice out tumbled
her engagement ring! It just goes to show that you don't need a kings
ransom to win the game of love.
Laura and
Mark ~ As a daredevil by nature, Mark decided
that he wanted to "take
the plunge" in more ways that one! An avid bungee jumper, Mark enlisted
the aid of the attraction staff to ensure that things indeed would go off WITH
a hitch. As she watched him jump, Laura was perplexed by the banner
unraveling from the opposite side of the platform until she got a clear
enough view to read: "Laura, I've fallen for you, Marry me and we'll take
the plunge together.
Candice
and Phil ~ As a primary school teacher, Phil
was aware that Candice
enjoyed presenting many educational video's to her class. Knowing
that she was doing a presentation the next day with her students, Phil
enlisted the assistance of one of Candice's colleagues. He had her
switch the video with the scheduled film and you guessed it, the class
was treated to Phil in all of his celluloid glory. Dapper in his
tux, on bended knee he asked Candice to to be his bride, a moment later
the real thing walked through the door to the applause of the class.
Since they were such an important part of her life, Candice was thrilled
that her "kids" got to share in her special moment.
Wendy and
Don ~ Never sticklers for convention, this
couple tickled me with their unorthodox
views. Wendy still giggles when she tells of her mothers' reaction
to her engagement. Deciding to steer clear of the usual ring, Wendy and
Don arrived for a family dinner sporting matching diamond nose studs.
Unsure of what their significance meant, the family was nonetheless thrilled
when they realized that the couple was engaged!
Heather
and Jay ~ This was truly one of the most unique
proposals that we heard
about. As a farmer in southern Ontario, Jay put in many hours getting
his pilots license so that he could do his own crop dusting. Just before
harvest he took Heather up in his small utility plane and glided in close
over the field. Heather was amazed when she looked down and saw the
words "Marry Me?" cut out of the crop. She reports that her feet haven't
touched the ground since.
