Driveway Romance

 

 

So, we had an engagement on our driveway tonight! Yes! One of the most random, yet cool events we had a chance to be involved in! Matt grew up in our house - we bought the house from his parents fifteen years ago. And for some sentimental reason, he wanted to ask his girlfriend to marry him here. Porter, sentimental guy that he is, loved it and could completely relate. Yesterday, Matt and his twin sister and mom came by to scope out the place (it had changed just a bit!) and make a plan. Then, he and his girlfriend arrived this evening under the ruse of going for a run in his old neighborhood. Matt suggested to Tracy that they should ring the doorbell to see if they could look at his old house. We put on our best acting hats as if we had no idea they were coming, gave them the nickel tour of the house, and chatted with them quite a bit. Cutest couple ever. We say our goodbyes, and then Callie and I run to her room (which was Matt's room) with my camera to spy on them in the driveway! I was able to catch the event on (blurry) film - it was so very sweet. Then, they came back to the house, and we let Tracy know that we were in on the whole thing. So fun - we popped a bottle of champagne with them and toasted to their future! And of course, I asked for a wedding invitation, now that we are kind of like family and all.
