{Our "Sweet" Engagement!}

I apologize that I have been MIA these past few days, I have had some planning to do...AS IN MY WEDDING! :)  My fiance proposed on Saturday, I said YES and we are engaged!  It was the most romantic night and a complete surprise!  He even flew my sister in from the East Coast to surprise me...it was unbelievable (just like him).  Oh there is more...he proposed in my favorite cupcake shop!  One thing you MUST know about me if you don't already, I love to bake and I am a cupcakeaholic!  It was the {sweetest} idea and a night that I will never forget!
So, would you like to hear the full story?  Well either way I am going to tell it so that I can relive the moment over and over again!  Keep scrolling to read all about our "sweet" engagement! <3
Prior plans:
Since my 25th birthday is tomorrow (which is a Wednesday) we decided to celebrate the weekend prior with our families.  We were just looking to go out for a casual dinner and maybe have some drinks after.  Well, that was the plan...
Saturday, December 1, 2012
Around 4:30pm my mom called and told me that she ordered cupcakes from Molly's  as a sort of a surprise for my bday, but something came up and they wouldn't be able to make it there in time to pick them up.  So, Nick and I said we would stop by on our way to dinner.  As we walk in and talk to the owner about picking up the cupcakes, she tells us that she doesn't have the order, but they may be in the back.  So she goes to the back to get them and to my surprise my parents, Nick's parents, two of his siblings and his brother's gf come walking out yelling "Happy 25th birthday!"  I was surprised and kept thinking how sweet it was that they were there.  We all got to talking and then soon after mom said, "did you really think that I was going to have you pick up your own cupcakes?"  I was still a little confused, but just figured it was for my bday.  Then my mom yells, "Well, let's bring out the cupcakes!"  There is a small hallway in the back of Molly's so I was trying to figure out who was walking down it with the cupcakes...it immediately came to me, it was my sister!!!!  I could not even believe it!  WHAT WAS SHE DOING HERE!? 

At this point you can imagine I was bawling and shaking all at the same time.  I watched her set the cupcakes on a table and then many hugs were to follow.  Finally she said, "You really think I was going to miss your 25th bday?"  "You should open up your cupcakes!"
So, I tried to gather myself (which did not happen at all) and walked over to open the cupcake box...



AHHHHHH!!!  I couldn't believe it!!!!  Nicholas said "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?"  I said, "YES, YES, OF COURSE!"
Right after the proposal I turned to our families and still couldn't believe it!!!  I looked at my sister one more time and Nick then hold me he flew her in for the surprise!

After holding the ring about 5 minutes I finally took a look at it (LOL) and found out that he custom designed it!  It is absolutely stunning...the entire moment took my breath away {insert sighs}.


  
EEEK, WE ARE ENGAGED!!!  How lucky am I?


Time for a champagne toast and to celebrate with our families!!!

   

Part of my new family! :)

Molly's amazing staff!

Molly's will now forever hold a "sweet" spot in our hearts!! <3
Hands down, it was the most romantic night of my life!  I have an amazing man in my life and I can't wait to marry him!  I will be the next Mrs. Muhlenbruch! :)
{SAVE THE DATE:  September 27, 2014}
Thanks again to our amazing families and friends who came out to celebrate with us on our special night and to the staff at Molly's for being a part of the moment!  And to my FIANCE...I love you so much and I am still trying to catch my breath! <3
So, let the planning begin!  We all know how much I am going to LOVE this! :) 
XOXO
