Both John and I had known for years that one day we would be married and spend our lives together. We were invited to a Halloween party and I was going to be a princess, and John was my prince. I love sewing and said that I would make the costumes.
On the night of the party, John came over to get ready to go. What he didn’t know was that I had already told all our friends I was going to propose to John at the party. The lights were turned low and we were dancing to a slow song when I got down on one knee and asked John to marry me. My best friend Deb handed me a red heart pillow I had made with a ring for John attached. When he said yes, I put the ring on his finger. John still loves to tell our kids this story even after 16 years.
