Daren and I are happy to announce our engagement! While opening our Christmas gifts this year Daren surprised me with a trip to New York City for my birthday. The day after my birthday, as our trip was coming to an end, we went to Serendipity for lunch. After a yummy lunch we were sharing a frozen hot chocolate when Daren put a belated birthday gift on the table. I opened the wrapping paper to find the book, "Love in a Time of Cholera", from the movie Serendipity. Now some may think I would be suspicious at this point, but no...I commented on what a creative gift and asked where Daren found such a unique copy of the book which was closed shut with a little pink ribbon. I untied the ribbon, expecting to find Daren's name and phone number on the inside cover. Instead I found his definition of Serendipity, "Finding my soulmate in my best friend". At this point I was still not suspicious. Instead, I began to flip through the pages to find the most beautiful engagement ring tied inside a box Daren had cut into the book with the words "Will you marry me". For those of you who haven't seen the movie, you'll have to rent it and it will all make much more sense!
So, our planning has begun! We look forward to sharing our plans with you and are very excited to share our special day with you!
