Our Wedding

After dating for over 3 years, Mark, began planning out how he would propose to Natalie, but it would be another 7 months before he actually popped the question. In April of 2017, Mark began giving Natalie subtle information about a holiday party hosted by the company he works for. At first Mark simply said, "Yeah, they mentioned they always have some kind of party around Christmas," but as time went on, Mark slowly began to give Natalie more details of the “party." After months of asking for more information (Natalie is a planner and likes to know when things are far in advance), Mark said he found out the party was going to be on November 18th at 8:00 in downtown Cleveland. He even provided Natalie with an address of a banquet hall in that area. He also suggested that since the party was not until 8:00, that it would be a good idea to go to a nice dinner before hand as they would already be dressed up (and hungry) anyway. Natalie suspected nothing. On the evening of November 18th, Natalie and Mark headed toward Cleveland where Mark had made reservations at Luca Italian Cuisine. The food was fabulous, and Natalie and Mark talked about how nice the party would be while making plans to stop for ice cream before they went. When the plates were finally cleared, and Natalie assumed they were about to leave, Mark admitted that there was actually no party at all. He told her that he had made it up so he would have an excuse to have her get dressed up and come to Cleveland. He then got down on one knee and pulled out the engagement ring, and asked Natalie to marry him. Natalie said "Yes!" immediately, of course. After Mark sat back down he told her since there was no party to go to after dinner, he had gotten tickets to the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. It was the most wonderful night, and Natalie and Mark cannot wait to get married!
