jakesmom.....thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the video. This site Cruise Critic was my main source for all the planning............over 13,000 views of one thread for the finalizing the proposal planning.....unreal :)

 

 

Linda..........I tried to set the bar as high as I could, hahaaaaaaaaa :)

Jimmy, I just watched the video (again!) and have a question. After the proposal (after the video ends), did you and the future Mrs. Jimmy finish dancing to your song? The music sounded simply beautiful.

I never followed this thread originally. I happened to see the post on Royal's facebook page first, and then found it here on CC. What a great story! Congrats!

[illini-grad]

Judy.....No, we didn't finish dancing to the song, but did continue to listen as my fiance stared at her ring in shock :)

 

 

superduper....thanks so much! I am trying to get the video to as many outlets as possible. I thought putting it on RC Facebook page would be a good outlet for it. It has almost 1200 views in 3 days, but I want more :) Did you see the other thread w/ over 13,000 views? That is where it all started. The link is on the video page actually. IT was so much fun to plan!

[illini-grad]

GREN EYED LADY!!! How was Allure??? So glad you got to see the video. Isn't it fun???? Thankfully literally everything worked as planned!!! It couldn't have gone any better! :)

 

Amethyst.....thanks so much! It was a fun one. 2 months of planning paid off thankfully!

 

RM.....thank you! I wanted to do something unique and special. And of course the song had to be included since it's her fave song, plus will be our wedding song! I am still on a high from it all and its been 18 days!

Allure was great but we liked Oasis better :eek: I thought the service and food weren't that great. No one starved for sure, but it was a little disappointing. But hey, we were on a cruise so how bad could it be? lol

 

So when's the wedding? ;)

[kpatrick74]

I too was one of the thousands following the previous threads and I am so happy that everything worked out as perfectly as it did for you. What a great thing for fellow CC'ers to help out. I watched the video and it was great and you were awesome.

 

Congratulations on your engagement and the many years of happiness that will follow.:)

[illini-grad]

Thanks Kristen!

 

Glad you enjoyed the video!

In 2 more days, it will be 1 month since I proposed, and it seems like it was just yesterday. Such an awesome time!!!!!!!!!! I still watch the video almost daily I must admit ;)

[Cruzin RN]

congratulations...what a beautiful experience and thanks for sharing it with all of us!!!!

 

It came at a good time for me...lately on CC, I have been reading so many mean and hateful posts towards other people. I was thinking of giving up this site,..then I read your beautiful, touching story with so many positive comments....

MY FAITH IN CC IS RESTORED!!!!!!!:):)

 

PS I was on Freedom of the seas On June 5th...so forgive my late reply...lol!!!!

Many congratulations! What a beautiful video memory.

[daboyz1223]

i looked at your post when you first posted, but forgot to comment, cause i went and watched the video then showed my wife, and realized how lame my proposal was in comparison to yours... congrats, and i wish you guys many many years of happiness!!

[Tiggercat]

Congratulations! Illini grads are the best!

[Gilpet]

Fantastic, this has been a great thread from the start. Congratulations to both of you and may all your dreams come true.

Cruzin RN.......thanks so much!!! The video is a lot of fun, and I am so thankful that we have it to always remember that time! Now, just not sure how I will ever top it, haha! It's like Sorry Dear, that is the best it's going to get, haha!

 

 

Mickeysgal.......thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed the video! It brings a smile to myself everytime, and possibly a tear or two, but I am a guy, I shouldn't admit that, right? Ha! The video reminds me of all the planning that went into it, and how perfect I wanted it to be. The video shows so much to me than just a proposal - the time, effort, the thoughts of it all, how I wanted it to be so unique, so perfect for her, etc..........I am so glad it worked as planned!

 

 

Lunaazul!!! Isn't that the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!! I-L-L..................I-N-I!!!!!!

 

 

Gilpet....Thank you so much for watching the thread from the start. Its been one huh? :) I have thooughly enjoyed i obviously. It is amazing to me to see so many people help out whom I do not even know except virtually w/ this website.

Thanks so much for all the views as I know a majority have come from here!

 

No wedding date yet,but there will be a date soon. We just relocated due to me getting a job promotion so that has taken a lot of our time.

Reading thru all these posts tonight reminds me of all the work and time that went into it all. I feel so blessed to be fortunate enough for it to work out the way it did!
