She knew it was going to happen. Steve was acting strange, just not himself. He was quiet and his thoughts were drifting. So Patti went home, got on her favorite dress, spritzed on his favorite perfume and practiced her best “Yes, I will marry you!”
Steve picked her up, and the two headed out for what she thought would be the best night ever. The two went for a picnic dinner and she readied herself for the question, but nothing. After dinner the two went back to Steve’s place where he asked her to sit down while he played her a song on the piano. Putting on her most innocent face, her heart leapt again as she waited for those words she was so excited to hear… but still nothing. The evening continued like any other date. Steve kissed her good-bye and said he’d see her tomorrow. With a heavy heart Patti headed home.
The next day she returned ready to just hang out with her best friend, still wondeirng what the night before was all about. Not long after she had been there, unexpectedly, Steve dropped to one knee throwing Patti totally off guard and asked her if she would be his wife. Through smiles and tears, Patti recited her best “Yes, I will marry you!” followed by “What was last night?!”
Steve, full of sweetness and surprises, knew that she expected something and wanted to throw her completely off guard.
The day of the engagement session brought us all surprises too. For most of the session it rained, but Patti and Steve just rolled with it, having a great time with each other.
And we had to end the session with some puddle jumping… You guys are just so much fun!
I can’t wait to share New Year’s Eve with these two as the tie the knot!
