The sweetest proposition

Helllllllllo friends!!! It's been a very long time since I've done a legitimate posting here but I am pretty sure you'll forgive me once I tell you what wonderful things have been going on in my life! These past few months have been the craziest months ever! It might have been a really short period of time, but what life changing decisions! :) I'm ever-so excited to keep journeying on this adventure called life and I'm so grateful for everything.

There's actually several things going on at the same time, but I'm going to just share one (the biggest one) for maximum impact. You ready?

the sweetest proposal

On one sunny Saturday, Andrew took me to a cute little cupcake boutique to check out some cakes. He told me that they were having some super duper promotion on specialty cakes and convinced me to check it out. And that was a no brainer request because he knew I would love to see pretty cakes any day.

the sweetest proposal

I instantly loved the place! Nice interior and cute baked goods enticed me as soon as I walked in. The girl who worked there sat us down to show us some photos and explain their cake promotion. She then lead me to the glass display area saying that before she goes any further, she'd love for me to taste some of their goodies.

So then I delightfully surveyed the selection, guessing which cupcakes flavours they have, checking out the cute sugar cookies, glancing at a beautiful cake shaped as a ring box, until... I heard everyone hold their breath. There was a photographer snapping shots at me and then finally my eyes focussed on the beautiful cake with a plaque and iced letters on it. "Sarah, will you marry me?"

the sweetest proposal

"Sarah?! IS THAT FOR ME?!?" And just then Andrew got on his knees, pulled out a beautiful ring and started to recite sweet words of love and commitment to me. And let me just say, I was probably the happiest, most giddiest girl in the whole wide world just at that moment. Let's just say these photos display my emotions pretty accurately! It really was the perfect proposal, don't you think?

So yes, my dear friends! I'm engaged!! To the sweetest, most loving man I could ever be with. I'm so excited to start an exciting new chapter in my life with a teammate and partner like Andrew and I only hope that we can spread the love and pay all these blessings we've received forward. :)

Oh!!! And by the way, I mustn't forget to pay proper credit to these BBBEAAAAUTIFUL photographs! Andrew, the well-thought planner, hired a photographer to capture the whole thing. And I had noo clue! She was taking shots of the cakes when I got there, so I thought she was a photographer for the bakery! Please please visit her site at Janet Kwon Photography. She was such a sweet and delightful photographer and I'm amazed at how she captured everything sooo genuinely. Thanks Janet!!

You can check out her blog post for more photos of the proposal!!!!
