It was pretty elaborate. When I woke Katy up this morning, I took her in the kitchen where there were two boxes from Mike’s Pastries (best Italian bakery in Boston located in the North End), a bouquet of roses, a bowl with 3 eggs in it, 4 cups of dye, a new book for her, and breakfast for us both. We ate breakfast, and I opened the first bakery box. It was filled with her favorite pastries. The second box was a customized heart-shaped Boston Creme cake with roses all over it and the words I Love You written on it. After breakfast we dyed the eggs. The first one had Under written on it, the second, The, and the third, Cake. Telling her where the first clue was. After several clues she was led to a book we both love, Glory Road by Robert A. Heinlen and from which we frequently write little 4 line poems that start out Over the Sword…
Inside was such a poem and a cue to turn around, where she found me on one knee with ring in hand.

I said, “Katy, I’ve loved you so long that I couldn’t imagine life without you, and hopefully I will never have to. Will you marry me?”

She said yes!!!

We’re celbrating with 4th row seats to see Wicked tonight and dinner at a super fancy restaurant. Yayayayayayayayayay!!!
