I'll start with a little background information about us. Danny and I first met back in 2015 when we were both working at Lacoste. During that time, we were just friends/ co-workers and called each other "bros". We went off to explore other jobs but somehow found each other back at Lacoste a year later. One night after a closing shift, we were both stuck waiting for a bridge on our way home. It gave us the chance to see who we are outside of work. Thanks to that bridge, here we are engaged and getting married! :D
Danny and I got engaged May 10, 2017. Since Danny was busy the next day which was our 8 months, we decided to have dinner the night before to celebrate. (Danny likes to celebrate every month, he writes me a love letter on the 11th of every month - I know cheesy right? lol)
He had white lilies (my favourite) delivered to my house earlier that day. My family speculated something was up since he has never sent me flowers before but I decided to shrug it off since it was a "special occasion"
We had reservations at the Keg over looking Niagara Falls. Dinner was delicious and the view was fabulous. We even dressed up to impress which is a rare occasion for us since we love to dress down and casual.
After dinner, he suggested we walk down to Oakes Garden Theatre (our special place) to digest. We were just enjoying each other's company, taking selfies near the tulips when this girl approached us asking if we wanted our pictures taken. We accepted the offer and posed to get our pictures taken. But her camera wasn't working. We waited and waited but it refused to work for us so she apologized and we went off to continue our walk. After that encounter, I could feel her presence around us. I could hear the clicking noises and the flashes of light from her camera, circling around us. I was SO creeped out! I started wondering why there was a girl at the park in the dark at such late hours! I started thinking "What is she planning to do with our pictures?" I was scared. Then the girl approached us again, saying "The camera is working now. Do you still want your pictures taken?" And she started snapping pictures and I started getting more and more creeped out. Danny was also trying to get away which is why I did not suspect anything. Once she left, I told Danny, "That was so weird. I'm so creeped out." Danny agreed and just like that we continued our walk.
Then it happened. Once we reached the top of the stairs, Danny got down to his knees, pulled out a ring and started his speech to ask the most important question. Out in the corner of my eyes, all I saw was the same girl jump out of nowhere clicking away, snapping our photos! I had a hard time focusing on the proposal because my attention was all on this creepy photographer! loll
Of course, Danny had hired her to take our pictures as he proposed. But with her camera hiccup, everything was falling apart. I confessed how creeped out and scared I was and she even apologized saying "OMG, if I were you, I would be so creeped out right now" loll
It wasn't the romantic, fairytale proposal every girl dreams about but it is a memorable one I will never forget. xD
I've attached some of our pictures from that night. I'm surprised they turned out okay even though I was so freaked out lol
Thanks for taking the time to read our proposal story! :)

Hello Best for Brides,
Thank you so much for the help in selecting and altering my wedding dress. Our wedding was held in Tuscany, Italy this past September with the entire event being held outside. It was a dream wedding.
My dress was absolute beautiful thanks to all the help from Larissa who spent time with me and suggesting the dress I looked the best in. She made me feel very comfortable and had the girls dresses altered beautifully as well as my own.
Thanks so much for making our day feel like a make believe fairy tale.

Hi Best for Bride,
Thanks for giving me the chance to offer my feedback on my experience at Best for Bride. I have to say it was a great experience. While I can't remember names, everyone there was so helpful and took their time with me so I didn't feel rushed or pressured. I bought my dress off the rack and you had a fantastic selection at really great prices. I had a tough time choosing but in the end, got the perfect dress. Your seamstress was amazing and efficient and the dress fit perfectly after she was done with it. I would definitely recommend Best for Bride to my friends and family. I've attached a picture here. Thanks for all your help!

Hi Best for Bride team,
I wanted to thank everyone at best for bride once again for the wonderful service I received. When I arrived at your store I was pretty nervous. I had no idea what I was looking for, what would suite me or what I even wanted. My mother has been ill the last little while, and dress shopping was not something she could really participate in, making the ordeal that much more stressful. The staff at best for bride treated me like a daughter from the selection, to the fittings, right down to the alterations. I was so happy with my dress and it was well within budget. I got so many complements about my dress on and after the wedding day.
Thank you again, it really meant a lot.
