Joel proposed on Saturday, March 29, 2008 at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. We had already had many discussions about getting married; we had even already been ring shopping so I knew that it was coming but was uncertain as to when he would propose. The week of the proposal he kept mentioning that I needed to keep Saturday clear...that we were going to have a day just for us. I didn't think anything about it, really, or even think that he was going to propose that day. Honestly, I was scared that I would be disappointed if it didn't happen so I had almost talked myself into believing that he was going to wait until mid-April or early May. I knew that he had planned a picnic and that we had tickets to a Casting Crowns concert that evening but besides those two things, I had no idea what he had planned. Once Joel picked me up, we spent some time together just driving around and talking (which is something we both really love to do) and then had our picnic at the gardens. After our lunch, we walked through the Orchid Conservatory and he proposed at the gazebo which overlooks a reflecting/wishing pond. It was a day I will never forget...it was perfect.
