When
Ken and I first started dating, we both lived near a park and
would go there often to take walks together and get to know eachother.
On one of our first dates, we came across a beautiful wooden
bridge that I could not cross due to uneven beams and high heels.
Fortunately, Ken took this wonderful opportunity to carry me
over the bridge. We both have always remembered that day and
that act as being magical.
When planning our engagement,
Ken tracked down an artist by the name of Larry Anderson, who
we both greatly admire. Larry paints various picturesque landscapes.
Ken commissioned a drawing from him for his proposal.
On the day he proposed (Jan.
20, 2007), Ken gave me a one-of-a-kind picture by Larry Anderson
of the bridge he has so lovongly carried me across three and
a half years earlier. Under the picture of the bridge were the
words: "Anne, Let's cross all of our bridges together....Will
you marry me?" And then Ken got on one knee and presented
me with my engagement ring. It was the most beautiful, magical,
and sincere day of our lives.
