Weddingbee Blog

I’m taking a moment from Mr. D’s and my ceremony brainstorm to share part of my weekend with you. Why is that? Well, let me promise you that at first it may not seem like it, it really is wedding related.

This weekend I went with MOH A to the Iowa State Fair. It’s a huge deal here in the Midwest as one of the largest fairs in the United States, period. We have our quaint traditions that only Iowans can have, such as a butter cow:

As you can tell, our traditions seem to center around the rich agricultural traditions that Iowa has to offer. But the fair is more than just animals, calling animals, and deep-frying products from animals. The fair is also a bit about this:

I know, know. You are all asking: “What does the hotness of Adam Levine have to do with weddings?”

MOH A and I went to the Maroon 5 and Train concert on Friday. It was amazing! Adam Levine really has some moves like Jagger. But more to the point, I was surprised and had my heart melted at the concert. I’m most of you have heard the song “Marry Me” by Train:

Well, the lead singer of Train, Pat Monahan, decided to take a stroll during the song. Towards the end of the song this happened (skip to the 1 minute mark):

Someone was romantic enough and persistent enough to get Train to be part of their proposal. It was seriously one of the most romantic proposals I had ever had the privilege of seeing.

When I told Mr. D about it, he asked me if I wished my proposal had been something like that, but I assured him I was completely happy with my at-home pajamas proposal.

What about you? Was your proposal the stuff blog material is made of? Or was it a cozy proposal like mine was? Do you wish it was any different?
