Personally, I think my job is pretty cool. Inspiring and helping gentlemen come up with creative, personal proposals is lots of fun.  That being said, I thought it was time for me to share a little of my own inspiration with you.  Not all men have the knack for being creative but I have to admit Kyle, my husband, has it.  On our wedding day, my bridesmaids and I were so impressed! This was Kyle’s wedding gift to me, all his idea by the way, and I loved loved loved it!

From the time I started getting ready, to the moment I was leaving for the ceremony, Kyle had small gifts delivered to me via my bridesmaids. Each gift represented an inside joke or a memorable moment in our relationship and I fell in love with him all over again.

Gift 1. Monogramed Sweatpants: Appropriate of course, since I was soon-to-be Mrs. Vaughn.

Gift 2. Pink Slippers: So I wouldn’t get cold feet!

Gift 3. The Good Wife Guide accompanied by my favorite Starbucks drink: The book was so ridiculous! It was from the fifties explaining steps to make your husband happy.  It was such a Kyle move, always joking around (don’t worry he was joking). Let’s just say, it was a smart move to give me my Starbucks with it.

Gift 4: Lobster Stuffed Animal: Does the TV show Friends ring a bell?  “He’s her lobster!”

Gift 5:  Heart Locket: I have a pretty locket that I’ve never filled with a photo. Kyle always gives me a hard time about having an empty locket. Therefore, he of course gave me a locket filled with his tiny photo.

Gift 6:  Beach bag: It was filled with goodies for our honeymoon. The destination was a surprise so he filled it with essentials and little clues to where we were going. By the way, we went to Tahiti!

Once I was in my wedding gown ready to meet Kyle at the alter, I receive gift #7…my favorite by far.

Gift 7: Heart frame: On the frame was a note, “This is how excited I am to marry you!” I lifted the note and there was a photo of an extremely happy and adorable smiling Kyle!

Kyle, thank you for being a fun and loving husband. I’m very blessed.
