Emily's 5 Blessings: Alexia's Marriage Proposal

Saturday, December 27, 2008

A very special event took place tonight under the moonlight under this giant Florida oak tree in our backyard.

Alexia's boyfriend Matt was secretly waiting for her to return.

This note was taped to our front door so when she arrived home she would see it and head to the backyard.

When she saw him she ran to him and jumped into his arms.

He then looked into her eyes and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him as Mrs. Matt Gilman!

She immediately said yes!

He shared with her a letter that was written from his parents just for her.

Alexia's dream was coming true!

The happy newly engaged couple!

The future Mr. and Mrs. Matt Gilman

The ring!

12/23/08 our daughter's dream came true!
