Ty Williams, a member of the OurWeddingDay.com team, is in the midst of planning her wedding, and sharing her unique perspective with you in our new weekly feature, Tuesdays with Ty.
Hello fellow B-2-Bs!
Ty here blogging to you today from our nation's Capitol, along with millions of other folks witnessing first-hand the inauguration of our 44th President of the United States of America. It's chilly, but well worth it to be part of history. Now before I get too carried away with my patriotism, let me get back to our official business as brides...wedding planning!
Here is the back story on the proposal...
Jon and I were next-door neighbors when we met in New York City's upper west side. Our first date was in my apartment on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2004 when we ordered pizza...
Well four years later, we were able to celebrate our anniversary on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving again, but this time around we had a shot at a dining experience with a lot more glitz and glamour than Big Nick's Pizza. A good friend of mine, Odetta King, is a sales manager for the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel right off of Central Park and she'd always raved about the restaurant there and as fate would have it we landed a reservation.
We sipped the house wine and enjoyed what is now one of our favorite dishes of all time, Mrs. Helmsley's Chopped Salad. Before our main courses arrived Jon said three words I think I'll never forget, "close your eyes." Needless to say when I opened my eyes there was a gorgeous ring on my finger and between crying and hyperventilating (yes, publicly) I managed to say "yes" to the big question.
Now the engagement ring...that's another story, so come back next week and I'll give you the scoop.
Best,
Ty
