Ben proposed to me this afternoon at a park, Botanical Garden's, in a Gazebo. I'll have to take pics of my ring sometime... Not right now. I'm too tired right now. A little while after he proposed, we started walking back to the car, but we took the path through the garden, and as we were reaching the parking lot, a man who (I thought) was taking pictures of flowers caught back up with us and said that he had been taking pictures and got some of us strolling along in the background. He wanted to know our names. At first Ben and I were weary of him... then he said that he was with the local paper and was out taking shots of people enjoying the spring weather. He asked us again for our names, in case the photo is used. We gave him our names and then he goes, "Great, thanks," and started walking away. I didn't know if he realized it or not but before I let him leave, I told him Ben had just proposed, and that that must have been what he caught or close to it... So the man turned back around and goes, "Really? Congratulations! And you, obviously, accepted?" I told him yes, and kinda laughed. ("Noo, really?" hahah) So the man scribbled that down on his notepad and then let us go about on our way. He was nice. I hope, hope, hope that it is used because then I can save it or frame it and have a keepsake of the day Ben proposed! I'll definately have to show you guys if it's published. I don't know when it will be, if its going to be used tomorrow or whenever, if it even is. But boy, that would be great, wouldn't it!?
Anyways, after he proposed, we went back to his house and then at 6 we went out to eat at Mancy's Italian with his parents and some of our closest friends. I asked Melissa and Josh to go, but they'd already had plans , so we'll have to do something with them sometime... We got a couple pictures taken at dinner, and his parents (secretly) got Ben and I dessert to share. Then we went to another park to take some pictures before it got too dark. (Poor Ben got stung by a bee. ) When they're developed, I'll have to show you all!
Anyhow, I just wanted to share my great news with everyone here.... :heart:

Congratulations! Sometimes, even if the photos that were taken aren't published, you can go to their offices and ask to have a look at them and they charge a fee for you to have a copy- but it might be worth a try for such special photos. Happy 18th too!

Thanks everyone.
And Rosie, his mother called the Blade, and they said that any photo's taken by Blade columnists or reporters can only be distributed if the picture if used. So they have to use it in order for us to get copies of the original... :( I hope they use it!!!!!
