Hi! I'm Elle and I'm getting married! After being together for 4 years...he finally popped the question (October 17, 2009). It was really nice. After a ride on the Staten Island Ferry he insisted that we go to Battery Park and get some pretzels. Me being the glutton I am was all gung ho about pretzels (pretzel dogs to be exact). So we walk into the park and I don't see or smell evidence of a pretzel stand. Just the usual Statue of Liberty impersonators and vendors selling pics of random stuff...and those guys who come up to you and whisper "I got Coach purses, Louis bags..."
We kept walking toward the waterfront and there were lots of people walking around talking and laughing and taking pictures. We sat down on a park bench and he asked me if I wanted some Hot Tamales...again being the glutton I am and feeling jilted for not finding pretzels, I replied with an enthusiastic "Yea!" He asked me how many and I said three or four. While waiting patiently for my candy, I asked him to pull out my trusty "Let's Go New York" book, to find our next venture. He pulls out the book and goes to hand it to me and drops it on the ground. I was like "smooth move ex-lax, " and he bends down to get the book...but on one knee...with a box in his hand. He opens the box and asks the question. me being the dote I am replied with an "aww it's so pretty!" and he asks again..."so is it a yes?" I said yes and we hugged and that was that! We went on to enjoy the rest of our trip and now we are knee deep in wedding planning and I figured I'd blog about it so I don't forget what I like and what we've planned and to give a realistic view of what it's like to plan a wedding.
