I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream

We just got back from Disneyland last night, and I have so much to tell and to show to you, but there is one thing that happened that is above anything else, and I cant wait to tell you. I got engaged with my Prince! 

Huge thanks to the lovely family who were smart enough to realize what was happening and kind enough to take pictures and send those to us so we can have those as a memory of our precious moment.

Engagement was something I had been dreaming about, but it truly was a total surprise. We had been celebrating our first anniversary that day: we saw our favorite princess Belle and went to dinner at the princess restaurant Auberge de Cendrillon, (more about that later!:) and we were planning to go to the Sleeping Beautys castle to take pictures in front of the stained glass window, like we did exactly one year ago, and then go waiting for fireworks show. When we were finished at the restaurant, it was already quite late, so I was a bit nervous that we will loose good places at the fireworks show, and said to my my Prince that maybe we should just go right away to reserve places and take the pictures on a next day. But my prince insisted that we go, and I'm so happy he did. 

When we got to the stained glass window I sat on the same place where I was a year ago, and asked my Prince to come next to me so we can have the same kind of picture, but he just looked at me, and got down on his knee, and right on that moment I started to cry. 

 

That was a moment I will never forget, and I didn't have to think what my answer would be, because I know that this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. 

 

After spending that day in Disneyland, meeting Belle and eating in a lovely restaurant I thought I couldn't be happier, but I was wrong. Even though I was crying, when he put the ring to my finger, that was the happiest moment of my life. 

Posing with the rings on the next day :)

Later we went to a hot air balloon at Disney Village where we took this photo. More about it later too!

 

We got great places for watching the fireworks show, and it was amazing. It is hard to describe the feeling I had, being next to my prince, watching Auroras castle with amazing lights and fireforks and thinking that just moments ago we got engaged there. Then again, maybe it's not so hard.

That feeling is love.

 

Have Courage And Be Kind,
