“Marcus and I moved back to Medicine Hat from Calgary in August of 2020. Marcus had gotten a job out of town and we barely saw each other. We had started to second guess our decision to move back to our home town. Little did I know he was planning on how he was going to propose to me the entire time he was away, so that we never had to be a part again. He was accidentally dropping little hints to me and I knew exactly when it was going to happen. I was working in a restaurant just doing take out since we were closed at the time. I wore a separate outfit under my work clothes so I looked cute when I got home. When I walked into our home after work, he put a blindfold over my eyes and guided me to our bedroom. When I took the blindfold off he was down on one knee asking me to spend the rest of my life with him. The room was filled with beautiful candles and rose petals and giant balloons that spelt out ‘marry me’. It was magical and I loved that he did it in our home.”
