The Unexpected
Samantha Behne
This New Year’s Eve turned out to be one of the most memorable nights of my life—I got engaged! It was perfect in so many ways. He had rented an outdoor igloo (for those of you not from colder areas, these are enclosed, heated structures restaurants set up on patios during winter, often with fun themes). Our friends were “supposed” to meet us, but they were conveniently running late, giving him the perfect window to pop the question. And he did—I was completely surprised! Our friends arrived shortly afterward, and we celebrated together.
