Taylor proposed to that sweet girlfriend, Lauren, today!
Yep, he's the true romantic...drove out to Pennsylvania last month to ask her dad's
permission! And he got down on one knee (awww)! He even hired a
professional photographer to hide and capture the exact moment in pictures!
These photos are mine. I'll post again when we get the real ones back!
Monday Taylor turns 21, so he's having quite the weekend, wouldn't you say?
♥♥♥

ReplyDeletethanks, claire...
DeleteI just had to share! :)
Congratulations. Fifty-seven years ago, when I was home from Japan, on leave, Patty and I ran away, so to speak, and got married in Indiana. That was the only state you didn't need a blood test and didn't have to wait for a license. We did it in one day. My new father-in-law performed well, and cried when he found out we were married.
ReplyDeleteYou are very proud.
Aw, abe...I guess I didn't realize that you and Patty eloped! And 57 years is just wonderful. You much be doing something right! ;)
DeleteCongratulations to your son, his fiancee, your family. The ring is a beauty too. Lucky girl. You must be so proud. Did you know ahead of time?
ReplyDeleteYes, I knew. In fact, Taylor asked me to go ring shopping with him. SO fun! And we were all good at keeping a secret...she had no idea! :)
DeleteOh, what lovely news. She looks so sweet and I know you're fond of her too. Congratulations to them both - and well done Taylor for proposing so stylishly.
ReplyDeleteIt was stylish, wasn't it? Yes, we love her...but she makes that easy! :)
