Wonderfully Geeky Proposal

Love, love, love the geekiness of this proposal! From ING blog.

We had been playing the original Legend of Zelda on an emulator the previous weekend. (My fiance owns the original NES cartridge too, but the emulator makes hacking easier.) A few nights before, he and his roommate finished it, so he asked if I wanted to do the second quest. I said sure, so he turned on the computer and I started playing. When I entered the cave with the old man, (who normally says “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!”) who gives you a sword, it instead said what you see in the picture above. I looked over at my fiance; he was kneeling and holding a heart container (8-bit!) made out of Legos. The ring was inside. Obviously I said yes!

All I know about love...

I learned from my grandparents!

I realized this morning that today would have been my grandparents 58th wedding anniversary.

For two people who married 6 weeks after they met, they had an amazingly long and wonderful life together. I once asked my grandmother how the heck they managed to stay together so long. "Respect and the ability to laugh when things get tough...and a whole lot of patience on my part!" It wasn't always easy, but you could see how much they loved each other and were a unit.

I miss seeing that, but it's something that has stuck with me and it what I strive for with my own marriage.

Brown, Orange and Purple Wedding Inspiration Board

The leaves are beginning to change, the air is getting crisp (ok, it was down right cold for a few days) and it's the perfect time for wonderful fall colored weddings! I love the traditional colors, but throwing in a little purple just makes it pop.
