While we were visiting home for Christmas Matt popped the question – “Will you marry me?”.
It took me a moment to answer, apparently the longest few seconds of Matt’s life, but the answer could never have been anything other than “yes”.
Matt had begun his planning over the summer, after his mother and father had traveled to New Hampshire to meet my mother and step-father, and everyone got along delightfully well. While I swam happily in Lake Winnepesaukee Matt had begun researching rings.
He asked Mom & Brian for their permission the night before. Therefore Mom was prepared to celebrate with a chilled bottle of champagne and her fine Waterford glasses when we came home.
We’re very excited to begin this journey and look forward to sharing it with our friends and family along the way.
Love, Jamie & Matt.
PS. Details will eventually be forthcoming, but we can assure you all that we intend to have two parties – 1 in the US (formal and including the ceremony) and 1 in the UK.
