As a working single mom with two boys and two jobs I have very little time to set aside for my boyfriend. He’d asked me to take a weekend off, I asked him to settle for one night. I was told to pack warm outer wear and a bathing suit(it was December). At noon we headed off to Silver star where a room with hottub was on our own veranda. I was happy to sit in the tub while the snow fell. At 5 PM I was instructed to be in the lodge dressed warm. Outside the doors of the lodge was a sleigh covered in jingle bells and lights pulled by Belgian horses. We rode for approx 5 kms to a cabin in the woods lit entirely in candles, he’d packed in my favorite wine and we stayed for a three course meal and carolling. We then got back on the sleigh where he presented me by flashlight with a card that expressed how I fit in his life, then he got down on one knee and proposed and I don’t remember if the sleigh stopped or time stopped all I can remember is the twinkle in his eyes, the sparkle of the snow and of course the ring!
