Paris Proposal

It's been a big week.

My oldest daughter was proposed to.
Pretty exciting for everyone.
She loves Paris and the Eiffel Tower...
So he surprised her,
and they drove to Paris, Idaho.  :)

She thought she was going to
meet his brother and wife for lunch.

So they get there and this is what happens.
They are sitting at a table to the right. 
 
Long version: 
 

 
Short version here, little different view.
 
 She was clueless til the end,
she thought the kids were
just having a good time. 
 
He arranged for the 
local high school choir to sing.
They did a great job and
it was so nice of the restaurant to let them do it. 
 
Pretty sweet -
he's a keeper.
 
Congrats!
So happy for both of you!

    That is just the sweetest thing. I have tears all over my face! To have a man love your daughter like that is the best thing ever. (I have two married daughters whose husbands worship them). Thanks for sharing such an upbeat, AWESOME event. I know you are so touched. Blessings on everyone - and kudos to that high school choir.

    I'm so pleased that you shared that video with me/us. I'm still smiling like no tomorrow - and I don't even know this adorable couple. That's a sweet proposal and with all the flashin' goin' on, it was totally "in"!! Congratulations! Goodness, the kids getting married just seem to be getting younger all the time but perhaps that's my 70 years looking back. :)
