On New Year's Day, we had the day off work, so we drove back to UC Berkeley to take our old neighbor's golden retriever for a walk. We went through campus, and reminisced on our time there together. Toward the end, Kenny was a little quiet, but assured me he was just fine. He said "You know where I haven't been in a while? FPF!" We walked over to FPF, the Fall Program for Freshman building where we met on the first week of our freshman year of college in 2009.
We peered into the dark classroom where we had sat next to each other in our Anthropology 1 class. It was dark, but Kenny tried pulling on the door and it opened. We brought the dog in with us, and saw a bunch of twinkly lights strung around the chairs. I still thought they were left over from the previous semester, even when Kenny picked up a remote and turned them on. I later found out that he was trying to play music on his phone too, but it didn't work!
He nudged me toward the front of the classroom, where he had set up a circle of lights on the floor. He said we started a chapter of our lives in this room, and thought it fitting for us to start a new chapter of our lives here too. He got on one knee and shakily asked if I would marry him. Of course I said "Yes yes yes yes yes!"
I was so touched at how many of our old friends at Berkeley worked together to help him set up. We walked back to our old neighbors' home, and they had hugs and champagne for us. We ended the surreal experience with a lovely dinner on the bay at the Berkeley Marina.

Hi Best for Bride,
I would just like to thank all the staff at Best For Bride in Etobikoke for helping my daughter and I find what we were looking for. I can't remember the ladies name that was helping us at the time but she was a tall woman and I believe her name began with a D. My daughter bought her wedding dress there and I bought my dress there as well. We were impressed with the wide selection of dresses that you had to chose from. I looked at so many dresses in other places as the mother of the bride and could not find anything that was suitable. My daughter and I exhausted every wedding shop in London Ontario and could not find the perfect dress. We went to a few places in Mississauga and Toronto and could not find the perfect dress until we visited Best For Bride and that is where she and I found the right dresses for us. Attached is a couple of photos of her day and the dresses we bought from you.
Thanks again,
Wayne
