Congratulations!

My MOH just moved back to VA, well it's almost been a year , but she's going to William and Mary for Grad School. I love Williamsburg. I always say that whereas most kids had annual passes to Disney etc., I had one to Colonial Williamsburg, still have mine from when I was 5 lol.

Me too! I'm 19, and in a box at home I have 12 annual passes just sitting there plus mine from this year!

Flash forward a few years later and I live in Williamsburg, VA as a tailor (I think you can guess for what company) and Evan is currently in the Navy, doing school in Charleston. The military thing has made planning this wedding pretty difficult, but we're hoping it'll work out!

He proposed to me last December (with some mischief from my friends). They got me to go to an evening performance (18th century ball) with them one weekend. Unknown to me Evan had driven up from Charleston, they had gotten him a full 18th century silk suit from work, and he was waiting to surprise me at the end of the show. When they invited him in, it took me a few seconds to recognize him! Well, it went off beautifully and my friends were smiling about it for days. Turns out half of where I work knew about it before I did!

That has to be one of the coolest jobs ever! I would loveee to work for Colonial Williamsburg, but guess I'll just work for Disney instead!

I adore your proposal, that's wonderful! I happened to be there this winter (new year's) and there was a family with a younger guy and a girl. the girl and the guy were going on a carriage ride and the family was taking a million pictures. When they pulled away, the father of the girl was like "Good grief, you'd think she would notice that we're taking so many pictures" and Someone spoke up and asked why there were taking so many photos and the father spoke up and said "Because he's proposing to her while on that ride". Seriously. that's amazing.

It is a fun job! Although, you do get some really odd moments (and awkward ones too). When you're in costume, people tend to forget that you're a real person and the whole personal boundary gets lost. But the amount that I've learned and have been able to teach to others makes it all worthwhile! And the clothes, the clothes make it worthwhile too, but that doesn't sound as good.....

Just a tip, we had them mailed to our hotel, which worked out well even in the holiday season. Let the company know that situation and you might be able to get them to mail it a bit early so there's no issue. Oh, and beware the vintage mechanisms to lock the things open, it bit a big chunk out of my finger.....
