2 weeks late on this post but things have been super busy! On Valentine's day Mark proposed! I was absolutely shocked! I had told him to suprise me on Valentines day by picking out a resturant for dinner, but this was definitly the best suprise ever! Below is the proposal story from our wedding website:
Mark took Elizabeth to a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at Uchiko, a new resturant in Austin. A few day's prior Mark told Elizabeth that his best friend Brian was coming to town on Valentine's day for work, and he wanted to meet up with for a few drinks. So that was the plan, romantic dinner followed by drinks.
After dinner they made their way over to the Hilton Downtown where Brian was supposedly staying. Mark said Brian told him to valet the car and charge it to his room, which Elizabeth thought was a little strange. They walked up to room 2303, and as they approached the door Mark pulled out a key. Elizabeth knew at this point Brian wasn't in the room or even in Texas for that matter. They walked in and on the table was champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, the curtains were open and the room had a stunning view of downtown Austin. They enjoyed the strawberries and champagne, and then Mark went into the other room and told Elizabeth she couldn't come in yet. After a few minutes he invited her in, and she saw something that she recognized on the bed*.
*About 2 months back Mark asked Elizabeth to go online and pick out some kind of basket or box that they could keep their love letters/cards in. She did, and inquired a few weeks back if it had arrived in the mail yet, Mark told her that it was on back order.
She also noticed a big flat thing against the wall in red wrapping paper. Mark told her she could open that later. Elizabeth opened the box and inside was a Valentines card and the first letter she ever wrote him. After reading the card Mark made her leave the room again. When he invited her back in the room he told her that she could open up the red wrapped thing now. He was standing next to her while she tore off the paper, and inside was an enlarged framed picture of Elizabeth when she was about 3 years old wearing a dress up wedding dress, complete with a bouqet and vail. At that point she knew what was about to happen. Mark got down on his knee, pulled out a beautiful ring and asked Elizabeth to spend the rest of her life with him.
She said YES!
