Today an adorable couple named Dane and Christy got engaged at Red Velvet (in the Sweet Shoppe)! It was so sweet and magical. Last week Dane contacted Emma and told her about his plan. We were thrilled! Emma made them special cupcakes and we waited all day to see them come in. Of course, when they did come in we played it cool and chatted about blogs and vintage… Yeah, we're good secret keepers! They shopped in the store and Christy found some treasures. After that they sat down for a cupcake and she saw the special cupcakes. He had an art journal that he made for her, got down on one knee and the rest is history………♥
CONGRATULATIONS DANE + CHRISTY!♥
Ps… here's Emma's face when she told me what was happening…..
Have a very happy Thanksgiving. Love, Elsie

That is fantastic! What a great place to get engaged!
I also got engaged on Thanksgiving (2008) and was married the following summer. It was so exciting to be able to share that moment with my family 🙂
I am one of the couple’s good friends and let me share this is absolutely magical for Christy. She follows your blog faithfully and has wanted to come to the store, actually just told me Tuesday that she was so excited she would be going. I just got the phone call from her and had to get on and check it out.
CONGRATS GUYS! Adam and I love you both very much!

How did you capture her face so perfectly?? So so adorable & sweet…..the whole thing! Awe. And yes, we would LOVE to gush over an art journal that a boy proposed with!!! I’m sure it is very sweet and personal…..I’m so jealous! Yay for Christy & Dane!!!
Adorable…I always tear up with emotion when I see guys proposing :). I think its just such a special moment, just witnessing it makes me feel like I’m in a movie scene and lucky to watch first hand. Emma’s face was priceless! What an awesome day you guys had! :0 Hearts, Janna Lynn

No way. That is so stinking adorable!! How special you must feel that someone chose your store for such a momentous occasion! Isn’t it wonderful to think that thirty years from now, they’ll drive down your street with their kids and say, “That’s where Daddy proposed to me…” ugghhh I get all choked up just thinking about it. Beautiful.
What a magical evening for my friends! Just perfect
lovely post and those cupcakes look gorge xxxx
oh my word!! dane sure knows the way to a woman’s heart 🙂
What a fabulously magical story! For the couple, for you, for Emma and her shop…and even for your new blog! I especially love the proposal pics…I hope my bf proposes to me in front of a bicyle too! 🙂
That is so sweet! Nice job Elsie and Emma. Very cool. Congratulations to Dane and Christy!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Emma’s shop is magical! So glad you were part of Dane & Christy’s special day! We are honored to have Christy become part of our family soon. Dane is our son and we love them both very much!
Oh my gosh. that is SO sweet! And with cupcakes! How romantic 😀

this is so exciting…isn’t it so wonderful? i mean wonderful to be apart of peoples lives when something so huge happens to them?
so sweet! i love it. 🙂
SWEET!!! What a cool thing to witness right there in your shop! 🙂
By the way, this is a very random comment, but I wanted to say that Emma rocks! I have to admit that in the beginning, when I first started seeing her here in this blog, I found it weird, you know, to see someone “new” (to me, obviously). But after “getting to know her” better by the things you post here and reading her blog, I have to say that she’s totally earned my heart :). I’m gald she’s part of Red Velet!

oh! how cute it is!
aww how sweet!
How sweet! What a thoughtful guy. Congratulations and the best of luck to the two of them.

I LOVE your sister’s face!!!! So cute!
How lovely that you were all able to be a part of this special moment :).

Love this story and plan to share it on a wedding blog I edit: http://bridesbuddy.squarespace.com/
Sooooo sweet!! I love engagement stories!
this is the best story! so many proposals are lame/cheesy, but this is just pure awesome.
This is an exceptional content, and I can agree with what was written here. I will be back to check out more of your articles soon. Thanks
Reading that really made me smile.
I’ve got to say, I’m so encouraged by your ability to actualize so many beautiful things.
That’s so romantic!
it is almost like a scene from a movie, perfect setting!
love kate
That is so awesome! Your first (maybe?) engagement in the shop! How exciting
I’m honored to say I’m the mother of Dane, and he amazed me with his determination to suprise Christy in this very special way. Dane, you stayed true to becoming engaged by Thanksgiving. Christy, I’m so glad you said yes!
I have been trying to acces this website for a while. I was using Chrome then when I tried Firefox, it worked just great? Just wanted to bring this to your attention.
