{ 11.11.11 = Giselle + Gary Get Engaged }

Congratulations to Giselle and Gary on their engagement!

Not only does November 11, 2011 mark the day of remembrance for the soldiers who fought for our freedom, but it is also a lucky day for some cultures around the world.  For one particular couple, it was a day that will never be forgotten. 

I was honoured to be part of the plan for the proposal.  Arriving from their trip to the Dominican Republic, Giselle and Gary's friends and family waited for them at the arrival area while holding up a "Welcome Back" sign. My role was to take Giselle away and distract her.  While Gary's sister handed him the ring, the sign was flipped over to read "Will You Marry Me Gi?". It took a moment for her to understand what was all happening but she finally understood and turned to Gary who was already kneeling down on one knee.  Eventually she nodded yes while tears rolled down her cheeks.  It was a perfect proposal.
