'I’m not the kind of girl that grew up dreaming about weddings, so princess-like dresses were not in my cards.'
Mark and I both worked at City of Toronto day camps and programs for many years. We actually met at a children’s dance recital on a particularly balmy June evening. Mark was working parking and I was working with the dancers during the show. Apparently that neon parking vest can be quite alluring . Mark charmed me for a few weeks when I saw him at various camp training sessions and events and I thought he was sweet and hilarious. He asked me out on a date and we’ve been together ever since.
Chris proposed on Dec 21st deep in the snow up at our newly purchased cottage up north. We walked me out to our fire pit which overlooks the beautiful lake, got down on one knee and proposed. I had no idea he was going to, so I was really shocked. We stayed up at the cottage for the rest of the holidays, enjoying our new status, just us two.The dress was easy.
The proposal was a complete surprise to me. We were at my parents’ country house on hiking trail that leads to a waterfall, Lavender Falls. It’s something we do pretty frequently, so when he asked if I wanted to walk there it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. We took our dogs, hiked as per usual, and made it. He asked me to follow him behind the waterfall and that’s where he got down on one knee. I completely blacked out . I even had to ask him if I said yes, which I did.
