In true Doll style, Cait and Dani at all times cheer one another on for every magical life occasion. This previous weekend was no exception. Cait gave her blessing to Dani’s private Disney Prince as he offered one more shock of a lifetime and so they selected perpetually. Maintain studying for all the main points of Dani’s good proposal and traditional ring selection.
Hello Dolls, Dani right here! Thanks a lot for all of the loving notes about our engagement. We respect you for following our journey through the years and at all times being so sort and supportive. Now it’s story time… and YES, I’m going to point out you the rings.
For those who informed me three years in the past {that a} Mini Golf Date would’ve led down this WILD street – two puppies, three houses, a child and a fiancé, I might’ve referred to as your bluff.
My relationship with MG has at all times felt like a much bigger pressure was in play. Irrespective of what number of instances (4 to be actual) I’d attempt to name it quits, one thing at all times drew us again to one another. We’ve stayed collectively by way of all the teachings and blessings life has tossed our manner. Now we have now determined that we wish to be married and formally commit our lives to at least one one other.
Did I do know we had been getting engaged this yr?? YES. Did I do know when it was taking place? NO.
A couple of months again, Mini Golf requested if I needed to go engagement ring procuring. This was a brand new procuring journey neither of us had beforehand skilled.
However to be sincere… ring procuring really stirred up some anxiousness as a result of whereas I like having MG as my companion, I’m really not a giant fan of rings. It’s simply not my factor. So the problem right here could be discovering rings I’d really like to put on.
MG rose to the problem again in Could when he uttered the 4 phrases each Doll loves to listen to… Let’s go to Chanel. As we entered my favourite style boutique, we had been greeted with the same old pink carpet. Our devoted private shopper led us over to the rings case the place we noticed the Coco Crush Assortment and earlier than we knew it, we had been celebrating our ring selection with a champagne toast. It was love at first sight.
When MG proposed, he selected 4 easy phrases once more. “Will you marry me?” My reply was immediate and easy, whereas I held our daughter in my arms. “Sure!”
We had spent the beautiful July weekend at our apartment in downtown Chicago. The evening of our proposal (July twenty second) it really downpoured, however the skies cleared simply in time. I normally seek for rainbows after a storm, however my destiny for the evening was an epic proposal beneath fireworks on Lake Michigan.
Let’s simply say the grand finale of the fireworks present actually was the grand finale. I used to be bowled over in the absolute best manner once I was informed we had been taking a fast picture and MG obtained down on one knee.
The following day we deliberate to have lunch at Whispers on Oak Road Seaside. After we walked as much as the seashore spot Mutual Love by Shallou (a major music to us) was enjoying all through the restaurant. Hmmm, attention-grabbing. An intimate, shock engagement celebration only for us was taking place proper earlier than my eyes and we had the nice fortune of celebrating with a couple of of the individuals who imply essentially the most to me. Thank the universe for my Finest Doll Caitlin – in fact she had my wardrobe dialed in for a bride-to-be outfit change once we arrived.
What I’ve realized is that there isn’t a such factor as good, however you may create no matter you need in life – so do it. You have to at all times have an open coronary heart and preserve working for what you need and feeling grateful for all you have already got. I belief the universe and I belief our journey. Can’t wait to share our wedding ceremony with you… We’re doing it our manner.
We’re speaking about one thing intimate at a Courthouse (quickly), adopted by our second little one, adopted by a vacation spot wedding ceremony in 2025!
