It was supposed to be perfect, but the engagement of Steve and Laura was just one crisis after another.
It all started on a February afternoon. Steve had booked a fabulous cabin up North, dreaming that it would be cozy, warm and romantic. Perfect for a proposal. During the afternoon he got away from the accounting office that both he and Laura work at to buy all the necessities for a romantic dinner, and hid them in the trunk away from Laura to see. After getting Laura in the car for a few hours up north they arrived at their quaint destination.
Pink wall paper, Precious moments figurines and a small room awaited them; as did the frigid Minnesota cold. The heat had been left off and the water, which was supposed to be turned on for their arrival, was not working either. After contacting the groundskeeper and a series of tries to get the water to turn on and successful failures, the two headed back home to Minneapolis.
By this time it was about 2 am and both were tired and hungry. They decided to stay at Laura’s parents home ( who by this time thought that the two were going to be engaged). Steve did not want to disappoint, and while Laura was busy bringing in the almost frozen groceries, Steve struggled around the backseat to find the ring. In between trips to the house, Steve got down on one knee and popped the question.
Far from what he had planned, it was truly a memorable night for the two of them.
I can not wait to celebrate with this truly beautiful couple!
