Best Halloween Proposal Ever

With Halloween coming up quickly (where did August go?), I am reminded of one of the best proposals ever! The one my very own husband came up with himself 🙂 Kent is so creative, and his unique proposal was both amazing and fun!  Every day I thank God to have found this man that I have been so blessed to be able to share my life with.

Best proposal idea ever – dress up like a groom for Halloween!

The Story

My Family

It was like any other Halloween.  I wanted to do the whole matching couple costume thing, which I had convinced Kent to agree to if the costumes were cool enough.  The original idea was for me to be a geisha girl, and Kent was going to be a samuri. We looked all over for a samuri costume and had trouble finding one that he liked. We were having our annual family/friends halloween party at my parents’ house, and I had to be out of town the entire week prior for work. Kent told me he was going to find his costume online, but I was skeptical that he would remember to buy anything.  When I returned home from my trip, he told me he wasn’t going to be a samuri, but he was going to be something similar that would still match me. He was being mysterious about his secret costume, so I didn’t ask too many questions.

The Proposal

As the party was getting started Kent was helping set up everything, and he still hadn’t put on his costume yet. Finally, as people started to arrive, he made a show of rolling a huge suitcase past me and into the bathroom.  Then he took almost 40 minutes in the bathroom getting ready!!  Later, I discovered that his time in the bathroom was spent writing the “Directions for wearing this tux,” which are pictured below 🙂  By this time, me, Trinity, and all of our friends were thinking he was going to come out in some sort of elaborate dragon suite or something else to match a geisha – maybe with some fire and smoke and crazy makeup involved (this would have surprised me much less than what actually happened!)  When he finally came out, the party had really started to fill with people. He walked out in a tux, and I was totally confused. I was trying to remember if there was a movie with a geisha girl and a man in a tux that I was forgetting. When he turned around, he had a receipt or something pinned to his back. On second glance, I could tell it was a handwritten paper that said “instructions for this tux. Girlfriend must read aloud.” I unpinned it and started reading, and the rest is history 🙂  Somehow, he was still able to match my geisha costume perfectly – even though it wasn’t the Samuri costume that I was expecting! 🙂
