Abe & Rachel: Real Life Fairytale

He knew that she loved strawberries, so instead of giving her a flower on their first date, he gave her some strawberries he had picked from a local patch on his way home from work. He had already won a little piece of her heart. A little over two years later, they went to Disney World- a first for both of them. On the first day, they spent the afternoon in Magic Kingdom, like two little kids taking it all in. From their table at dinner that night, they could see Cinderella’s Castle. The plan was to eat dinner and then watch the fireworks. After finishing dessert (a baked strawberry crisp, of course) the waitress brought the check and said she had one more thing for them. Rachel was still clueless and thought she was bringing Mickey-shaped mints. Then amid normal conversation Abe said “I know you don’t like surprises… so I am going to give you the heads up...in five minutes, I’m going to propose.” He said it so casually that she actually asked, “Propose what?” thinking he wanted to take a cab home or stay later. He said, “Marriage propose!” As the fireworks started going off over Cinderella’s Castle, “When you wish upon a star” began playing overhead. The waitress brought a pillow with a glass slipper and a tiara on it. Abe got down on one knee and said, “Will you let me be your Prince Charming, from now until happily ever after?” She said, “Yes,yes, yes!!!” He slipped on a beautiful engagement ring and they sat and watched the fireworks go off over the castle in Disney. Meet the happy couple...
