 | After much contemplation, I chose to do it at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Anthony and I have started a collection of wands from the many characters of the Harry Potter series, so I bought him a wand that he'd been wanting to add to our collection:Draco Malfoy's wand. I placed the ring on the handle of the wand and put it back in the box. Everything was lining up nicely. I had the wand in my backpack and all I needed was the perfect time to propose. We were in Hogsmeade at Harry Potter World and I was constantly scanning the park for a perfect spot. Unfortunately, all the spots I had envisioned being the perfect backdrop for the special momet were jam packed with people. My perfect vision was ruined.
After a long day of wizarding, we left Harry Potter World and went to take a breather on the beach of the Polynesian Resort. We found ourselves on lounge chairs staring at Cinderella’s Castle and the sun starting to set. I thought to myself “this is it, this is the spot to do it Anthony”. So, while fighting the overwhelming nerves of taking this next big step, I asked Anthony “Do you want to look at your wand before I put it up?” He said “Nah, I’ll just wait till we get back to the hotel”. With the calmest expression I could muster I said, “I really think you should look at it”. So he did.
He saw the ring and I asked him “Will you marry me?” He choked up and with tears in his eyes, he said “yes”! |
