Spring is just around the corner, and many brides are dreaming about or planning for one the most special days of their lives. Are you anticipating a proposal, looking for “off-the-beaten-path” activities to do for your bachelorette party, or planning special outings for your honeymoon? Or maybe you just like reading about and looking at pictures of all things wedding.
But these dreams and plans aren’t just for the brides to be. Many guys are making serious plans on how to propose to their love. When? Where? How? What is special that will be memorable to us?
Today, I want to share my experience in helping a gentleman do some planning of his own! I am an agent with our family’s business, and it all began with this phone call:
“Amelia Island Kayak Excursions, this is Amber how may I help you?”
Caller: “Hi, I want to kayak.”
Amber: “I am happy to help, how many are in your party, and what dates are you available?”
Now Nervous Caller: “I want to kayak and propose to my girlfriend, can you help me?”
Amber: “Yes, absolutely!
After hearing his story, offering options and ideas that would be special to them, such as a scavenger hunt leading them to “buried treasure,” a message in the sand, etc., the plan was set!
The plan: Nearing sunset, our caller and his unsuspecting girlfriend embarked on a kayak tour skirting neighboring islands.
Our caller discretely asked, “Please will you keep the ring as I am too nervous to hold it?”
With a sleight of hand, the ring was passed off to our guide, who secured it until it was needed.
After touring the local waterways, we stopped off on a nearby uninhabited island. Once there, the “plan” was for them to stroll down the beach. Meanwhile, our guides hurriedly wrote “Will You Marry Me?” in the sand.
On their return, they stopped to read the message, and he got down on one knee. She said, “Yes!” They titled their complimentary photo album, “She Said Yes!”
Now, this was not the end of the story! As their wedding date neared, our caller booked a date for another kayaking tour for the wedding party and family to enjoy. But wait! There’s more!
One year later the phone rings. “Amelia Island Kayak Excursions, this is Amber how may I help you?”
Caller: “Hi, this is ‘She Said Yes!’ “Do you remember me?”
For their anniversary, the couple booked a tour to kayak the route where it all began — “Will You Marry Me” written in the sand.
Now, you do not just have to read about someone else’s special moments because our area is rich in places to explore to make memories of your own.
