"You are protected, in short, by your ability to love"
I don't know if people truly realize how much I love Harry Potter, but I'd just like to preface this by saying that Harry Potter has defined me as a person for 14 years now. I have Harry Potter tattoos, a wand collection and season passes to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
So, I'll go ahead and admit that I am an extremely gullible lady. Michael and I had planned a trip to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Orlando or at least that is what I thought!
So, our day started pretty normal. We went to the theme park and rode the main Harry Potter ride, the Forbidden Journey. After that Michael suggested we go to Ollivanders. Now, I didn't want to go to Ollivanders, because I've gone a few times and I NEVER GET PICKED. So I hesitated and decided that sure we could do it. I'm so glad that I didn't go with the idea, and ruin Michael's plan.
As usual, I don't get picked for the "experience" of the wand choosing me, but afterwards Michael suggested that I take a picture with Ollivander. This is when he got down on one knee, and anxiously asked me to marry him and put the most beautiful pearl ring on my finger! I have been telling Michael since we started dating that if he didn't propose to me with a pearl ring I'd say "no". So I was extremely happy that he had picked out perfect ring...just a few sizes to big at first.
What I thought would just be a fun time riding roller-coasters, and drinking butterbeer turned into the most eventful vacation that I've ever had. I still can't believe that I'm lucky enough to be marrying my best friend...besides June. ha
So, on October 20, 2012 I had a "Very Potter Proposal" in Hogsmeade, and I couldn't picture anything better! For two Harry Potter nerds this was the ultimate proposal, and for me it was a complete dream come true! Michael and I love Harry Potter so much that we are having a Harry Potter Wedding coming soon!
Here is a video of Michael proposing...I muted the sound, because I sounded like a crazed hyena crying non-stop, but for a room with no lighting I think it's pretty decent, and to hear me talk about my proposal click here.
What would your dream proposal be?
LOVE this proposal! I'm also a huge HP fan... although maybe not as huge as you are ;) And that ring is gorgeous. I also want a pearl. They're so classic. Can't wait to see/hear about the wedding!!

Hey Lovelies! Just a head's up, I don't think your first video (the link) of the proposal is working - or perhaps at least not for this Aussie! Secondly I watched your video and you are so adorable! It was hilarious for me to hear that accent, it's not something I hear everyday! So cute. Also, you swear so much and that also made me laugh. It's one thing reading posts and seeing your instagram, but I think youtube really lets people see the 'real' person in a sense? And gosh, you are just super cute and funny. x
ReplyDeleteI think I've fixed it now! Thanks for the heads up. <3 ahhh Thank you! I'm thinking about making more videos soon, because I totally agree with you. Videos definitely give a better sense of who I am!!
