Almost 31 years has passed. And at this point in my life I can’t complain one bit. Today, December 10th, I turned 31. Not a very monumental birthday as birthdays go, but it’s one I will cherish. Two days ago I asked the love of my life, Ashley, to marry me.

It was perfect. We went to see Peter Pan at the Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery, AL. Well before the show I took her to the festival to see the grounds. At one of the wooden bridges there is a stone hut which has a balcony looking out over the pond. Perfect setting for a proposal.

So to do this right I had to prepare for months. Start training weeks in advance. Well maybe I didn’t do that much. With the help of my friend Jim, we set this up. He went down a couple of hours earlier to set everything up. We had candles, music playing, flowers and champagne waiting for us.

Earlier I bought two champagne flutes that were engraved “Ashley & Scott”, “December 8, 2007″ .

We got to the festival right when the sun was going down so the atmosphere was very romantic. She still had no clue when we went into the hut. She thought we were bothering someone else’s’ space until I told her I wanted to do something romantic for her.

Then I asked if she wanted some champagne. She said yes and I told her to stand by the balcony while I pored. I walked over to her as her favorite song was playing “Moon River”. I asked her to read the engraving on the flutes. As she read out loud the date, I dropped to one knee and confessed my love and asked her to Marry me.

SHE SAID YES!!! of course (or I wouldn’t be telling this story…haha)

She was very happy and very surprised. I had her believing Flag Day of next year.

I am glad that it went well. More details to follow. So after being in 26 weddings with 2 more next year, I finally get to be the GROOM!!!
