What did you do with the stuff hiding under your bed? Did you use it before the move? Did you take it with you?

 

[lexmas]

Aww, that's such a beautiful way to propose! I cried too, and you can bet if I was there I would have cried harder, so you're certainly not alone! How exciting that you got to go on all the rides too. And the bell...lol...I would have found that mortifying haha, but it's pretty awesome. How exciting, congrats to all of you!

LOL, dh and I would have had to use the stuff ourselves if we did it before the move since they weren't engaged yet when we changed hotels. I have a feeling dd wouldn't have been happy with us if we had done that!

We were able to take most of it with us, hidden in one of my bags. The only loss was the chocolate covered strawberries which was a shame because they were the largest, most beautiful ones I'd ever seen. We were able to keep them in the fridge at the disneyland hotel but since our room wasn't ready at the desert inn they had to sit in storage for several hours so they did ruin.

We gave everything to Ashli and Matt when we got back to the hotel after the engagement. One basket had another set of bride/groom ears in it so they actually now have two sets. I think at least one set will make a lovely display at the reception.

LOL, I found the bell mortifying also. Dh and I managed to walk about 20ft behind the others all through the park!
I would have been glad to have let dd and Matt do all of this on their own but dd made it very plain that she wanted dh and I to be there and share in this with them. Actually Matt seemed to want us there too. Made me feel good and as you can see Ashli and Matt ended up with pictures on the rides and walking around the park. I think they really liked that.

* I love the picture of your Ashli and Matt on Mickey, right above the sign that says "do not climb on mickey"

*I was laughing so hard through your comment about the cab driver!!! I would have done exactly what you daughter did, although I would have gotten the picture!

Loving the trip report also. glad Matt was able to work out the 'dream' proposal.

There is a couple of ways to thank Pat. I wish I could remember the numbers or e-mail adresses but maybe guest services could help. But we wanted to thank a CM so Dh e-mailed Disney about our wonderful experience. If you don't mind researching (I think their is a board on here as well) you could give her your thanks!

LOVE the entire story! Congrats on the trip AND the new son-in-law!!
