TJ's Proposal to Eric

It's not every day you get mentioned in USA TODAY. The lovely Mary Grzesik talks about Teej's proposal at the end of her piece on GRL, HERE. And below is the proposal itself. Notice my squiggy face. I'm an ugly cryer. Thanks to Abi Roux for putting this together.

      But I don't think yours has returned to a normal beat;) and to think you were carrying the bag the entire time! ;)

    With all due respect to the 'other' video I saw of 'the Proposal', the visual quality of this one is much much better and I enjoyed it all over again! (and welled up). Thank you both for sharing so much of yourselves and this special moment with us. We all feel really honoured.

    Now what can you tell me about Kid Christmas before I start reading....

      Absolutely non. I was actually completely clueless as to why he was even standing up...until I saw the box in his hands.

    Beautiful, Eric. It made me cry like a little girl. :) I wish you and TJ all the love and happiness that I have shared with my own man for the past 25-plus years. Big hugs and congratulations!

    It was a beautiful moment for every one in the room. When TJ stood up, the collective gasp was deafening in that room full of romantics. Thank you both for sharing your special moment with us. Congratulations!

    So happy for you both. This was too sweet and beautiful. I would love to have been there this year but I am glad I was there last GRL when you met. I'm so glad I got to meet you both. I have loved seeing your love story play out. Just like a great book but it's real ;-) Good luck to you both on your next adventures ;-)

    Congratulations again you guys! It was so exciting to be there to witness it in person. TJ actually told me before your session b/c he needed microphone help and it was all I could do to sit still and keep my mouth shut! So happy for you both and wish you all the best together.

    Eric, I don't think you said one single actual word during that whole video. Just a nod :-)
