Second Place Winner~ Love Story Contest~ Congrats!!

We had so much fun reading all the entries for our contest & wanted to share part of our second place winner.   This was such a beautiful way to propose that I thought everyone should have the chance to read it.

Congratulations to Marcie Jones & Matt Weiszbrod on winning the GREAT stay in Midway at The Blue Boar Inn. We are excited for you guys.  Thanks for entering our contest.

Here is Matt & Marcie’s proposal story:

“When we got up to the lake and got closer to “our” dock, I noticed there were candles lit up all around it. I just assumed it was something Daybreak had done, and didn’t think any more of it. Well when we got up to the dock, I looked over and saw my best friend, Whitney, with a video camera. I looked over and there was a red velvet carpet rolled out with rose petals scattered all over it and candles all around the edges and floating in the water. He brought me to the middle of the carpet and said, “The candles represent the light that you’ve been in my life. There are 1,500 rose petals, one for every time that I think about you during the day.  And this carpet represents the way I want to treat you for the rest of my life.” Then, he got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him. Through my tears I managed to answer, YES!!! I wanted to soak in every bit of that moment.  We stood there for awhile, and in between all the tears, kissing and hugs, we heard the flock of ducks that had been witnessing the whole thing take off flying!  (In my mind, they were the same ducks who had been “singing” to me the night we had our first kiss!)  The whole night was so perfect, and I felt like a princess! Every detail that went into it, right down to the fact that my best friend was there to record the whole thing, was absolutely perfect!!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!”

Way to go Matt on a GREAT proposal!! Best wishes to the happy couple!
