Ah, the proposal. Very funny story.
Megan's beautiful Aunt Mary married her longtime love Harold on July 17, 2009 out in her backyard, surrounded by Carlinos, Jarnigans, Moorens, DeVries', Chicoines and more. Basically, Megan's entire family was there. It was a lovely day and the ceremony was amazing.
Throughout the course of the day, Megan started noticing that Matt kept getting up from the table and leaving her for long periods of time. "Where the heck is he," she kept thinking. "Can't he sit through a wedding reception with me?"
As it turns out, Matt was planning his proposal and kept sneaking out to the parking lot to show various family members the ring and let them know of his conniving and evil plan. Towards the evening, every family member at Megan's table knew what was going on, and kept egging her on for fun. "Jeez, where's Matt?" They kept asking, knowing full well where he was and what was going to happen.
Then, Matt stood up in front of everyone and began to tell the story of how he and Megan met. He talked about the get togethers where we casually spoke to each other in passing, how they began dating, etc. Then, he asked her to come up there with him, where he got down on one knee and presented her with a ring...in front of 50 of my closest relatives.
The moment was surreal, and it was all captured on film. Megan thought the moment was so special, but even more special that her family got to share in her joy that day.
Mary immediately handed her the bouquet.
