Engaged in Paris~A Romantic Love Story
Valentine's Day is still in the air and we thought we'd share a love story from bride to be Kristy who recently got engaged in Paris. They were in Europe to see the Chicago Bears in London. Kristy and Matt decided to take the train out to Versailles one day because that is where Kristy spent a year studying abroad in college. They stopped at her favorite boulangerie and picked up some vin & fromage and headed to the Chateau. They walked through the gardens and decided to picnic along the Grand Canal. They were enjoying their pinic, feeding swans and sipping cote du rhone when Matt popped the question. Kristy had never mentioned anything to Matt but it had always been her fantasy to get proposed to in Versailles because it is a place that holds special meaning to her. They spent the rest of the week celebrating in Paris. How romantic! Kristy sent us this wonderful story along with some photos of them together celebrating in France.
