Where do we begin with the proposal? It's quite a long story, but a wonderful one and so romantic.
During Summer 2010, Frank said it was time to begin looking at wedding rings. We both knew we were ready, but he wanted me to find the ring of my dreams. So the search began and I finally decided on a vintage Asscher cut diamond. I found a wonderful jeweler in Beverly Hills who focuses on estate and vintage items. Frank worked with him for six months and found the perfect ring, which came from the east coast. How fitting!
He kept this all a secret from me and kept throwing me off regarding the proposal date. I kept thinking he was planning the proposal for February 2011, which would be our four year anniversary! However, he ended up planning a spectacular engagement on December 28, 2010 in New York during the holidays. He loved Mohonk Mountainhouse in New Paltz, NY as a child and decided the proposal would happen there.
The day he drove me to the resort, we went on a long walk around the mountain and he attempted to propose at the lookout tower at the top. However, the trails were all blocked due to the snow, so that plan failed. Instead, as we came down the mountain together, he took me into one of the wooden gazebos overlooking the lake and had me turn around to admire the view. When I turned around, he was already on his knee with the ring in his hand asking me to marry him! I was so caught off guard and immediately began to cry and said "Yes!". I wanted it to happen there in that moment so much and it came true.
He then proceeded to tell me that he'd reserved one night in the resort, along with a dinner in their formal dining room and a Swedish Massage for me in their world renowned spa! He really couldn't have done it any better. We will always cherish that weekend together forever and we hope to return there soon.
