Once upon a time, a Prince called from Wisconsin asking if  in a few weeks he could propose to his girlfriend on our frozen beaver pond in Minnesota. Since he, his girlfriend and my daughter had all gone to school together in Florida, I said yes (like I'd say no?) After he secretly asked her father for her hand (& the rest of her as well) they would come to our place to say hello.  Late on the appointed night  from inside my nice warm kitchen, I could see their car lights coming up the driveway. I efficiently  called the crew ,  who were shivering in place only warmed by a small campfire, and  the lighters quickly started flicking.We had wired Mason jars and put votives in them hanging from tree branches, so it was quite enchanting.  They lit 100 votives in cut out white paper bags, artfully arranged a faux fur throw on the bench, lit the candles on the pictured table , and scattered rose petals and potpourris on the ice.  Then they vanished into the dark!  I greeted the couple , quickly noting that the prospective bride was wearing flip flops, and handed them a lit candle in a lantern. I told them to follow the candle lighted path and off they went.  The groom had something to say at each turn about the steps in their lives leading them to this moment in time. She said, YES, and the wedding is in August.  My daughter is the Maid of Honor and yes - we stage weddings, too!
