They had just gotten the keys to their new home. Emily walked around with their dog Remi, and let him explore a bit. As she started walking up the stairs she heard a song playing, it was Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers”. Her heart started to race. As she neared the top of the stairs she could see Rob down on one knee. He had set the scene with flowers and a photo of the two of them. With the ring in hand he popped the question. In Emily’s words, “I started crying and couldn’t stop saying “oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!” but eventually was able to say yes.”
That “yes” was followed by lots of planning, and this Saturday they will say, “I do.” surrounded by family & friends. Congratulations you two, and Happy Wedding Week!
