I’m so delighted to announce that my longtime partner, since 2012, has agreed to become my husband. I popped the question at an intimate family gathering on Christmas Day. I was a bundle of nerves for weeks, and very shakey during the proposal. It stared with a little bit of a decoy, an anniversary gift I crafted from one of our very first photos together, framed with a little ribbon-tied note attached beneath. On this note, I told a story, and as he read the note, I read a copy of it out loud for the family to hear. Then I ended with “… but there’s just one more thing.” I reached into my pocked, pulled out the ring and fell to one knee. And he said yes. ☺️
