Daniel had really put some thought into this! The day before he proposed he had come to my store and chatted with me on my lunch break. Little did I know that after our brief encounter he went straight to my parents house to ask my dad permission! Now, we have been dating for almost four years and are in the process of building our own home, so it wasn't a huge shock to my dad that he wanted to propose, but it really meant a lot to him. It meant so much to him that he insisted Daniel propose that weekend! lol My mother and father graciously paid for a suite at the place they had spent their honeymoon 20 years ago and Dan was set! He told me we were going to his parents' lake house, but little did I know! He parked by a small light house on the beach and proposed to me while we were star gazing! After to initial shock wore off we headed to our suite, which was right on the water! We could see the little lighthouse from the back porch! It was the most beautiful moment of my life...until September 22nd!!!
