Bridal showers... frilly and girly and lots of love.... love surrounding the bride... the groom... and everyone around the event.
And that's where I found myself today.
I started talking to a few ladies and one of them suggested we sit down.
She picked the table, we sat down, and staring right at me was a quote from Cinderella.
'So this is love. So this is what makes life devine.'
My first thought was 'what?! seriously?! This is crazy!'
The quote was on the back of a handmade frame holding a picture of the happy couple.
As if that wasn't enough, a little later in the evening the organizers handed out small note cards so we could write a nice note to the bride to be.
Wouldn't you know it, the card that was placed right in front of me had a pair of shoes on it.
Again.... I think... now this is just getting weird!!
I know, it could be a coincidence, but that's one heck of a coincidence.
I ran it past the Coffee Fairy and she said the universe is sending some kind of message to me.
I even asked point blank 'would you tell me if you thought I was coo coo?' and she said 'absolutely... yes I would.' and I think I know her well enough to know she was speaking the truth.
I had heard one of the girls coming to the shower was recently engaged, and by recently I mean last night!
She arrived, and I couldn't wait to hear the story and of course see the ring!
I am so happy for her, it wasn't that long ago that she was miserable like the rest of us at work.
Then she left, went out on her own, and ended up meeting this great guy who is now her fiancee.
Their romance has been a whirlwind, they met in April and now in August they are engaged.
It gives me some hope that maybe it will and can happen to me, as long as I will let it.
The happy couple we were gathering to celebrate also has a beautiful love and engagement story.
I have a special spot in my heart for their engagement because of my personal history.
Her fiancee proposed shortly after she lost a close friend. One of the key messages during the funeral service was how you fill your 'dash'... meaning the dash on your headstone.
When her fiancee proposed he said he wanted to help fill her dash.... so sweet!
I can only hope to find another love story that is as beautiful as the two I encountered tonight.
