Confessions of an Engaged Romantic.

Okay. Madison just showed me this unbelievable video which inspired this blog. Check it out

This Taylor Swift song, Love Story, holds a special place in my heart. It begins talking about two kids falling in love and as their relationship 
progressed, she begins thinking that he no longer feels exactly the same. A few months before Madison popped the question, he had strategically 
made me think that he wanted to wait a while on marriage although we had dated for quite a few years. The subject was suddenly uncomfortable for 
him and never had been before. For several months I struggled with thoughts that maybe he seriously had gotten to the point that he was 
comfortable in our relationship and was in NO hurry to tie the knot. I had pretty much set a plan for myself; If he didn't ask by the time we finished
college, we'd have to talk about it. Little did I know, he had already talked to his parents, my parents, and several of our friends and had begun 
planning the proposal. I think because he had thrown me so off track and had me thinking that maybe he didn't feel as strongly about our
relationship anymore, this lyric just means so much to me.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
When the song reaches it's climax, He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, I can't help but smile! It takes me back to that time and place when I opened my eyes to see him down on one knee. I'll never forget it, nor will I ever be able to force the smile from my face when I remember it. 

This arrangement in this video is just beautiful. The confession: I cried!

Loved it! You know, it almost has potential to be played at a wedding. Before the ceremony - when guests arrive.

It's an idea.

See I had thought of this but never said anything out loud. Now that someone else has said it, I think I could go for it!
