Our "Engagement" Story

We'd been talking about getting married for about 4 months, but hadn't made any plans or really settled anything--it was just talk, so the actual engagement was a surprise. On Friday, September 17, Matt had 2 dozen roses sent to me at work. He then kidnapped me from my office and took me to the beach, where a candelight picnic was waiting. After we ate, a hot air balloon landed on the beach just down from us and squashed the fuck out of a seagull. We went up the the balloon, and over the sunset and the ocean, he proposed.
