GOOD NEWS!

April 14, 2017 132 Comments

 

NO it is GREAT NEWS…………………

 

THIS POST is MORE for my FAMILY and CLOSE FRIENDS but if you follow me it might put a smile on your face as well.

MY SON KRISTOPHER  proposed to his girlfriend of almost two years……….two days ago in the SAN DIEGO BAY!They have purchased a sailboat and plan to live on THAT whilst HE makes his tables in an old shipyard and SHE makes ONE OF A KIND JEWELRY!

I was IN THE KNOW A BIT as I got to pick up the ring from the jeweler where it needed to be sized.

A TEXT CAME IN ON APRIL 5th,”Molly came with me to work today,can’t get rid of her.Any chance you can swing by the jeweler and get the ring?”

SO, I did feel apart of THE OPERATION just a wee bit!

I did know the DAY was CLOSE………

I did know MY SON drove to SAN FRANCISCO to ask for her hand from HER FATHER.

I DID KNOW FROM THE GET GO SHE WAS PERFECT FOR HIM!

The boat needed to be relocated a 13 hour journey from LONG BEACH to SAN DIEGO.

Needless, to say, I did not make that JOURNEY, but my HUSBAND and my other SON did!

THANK GOODNESS they DID and we have NICHOLAS TO THANK for the PHOTOS………….

AS he spied his BROTHER with the little red box in his pocket.

Having NO PHONE on HIM and looking about at the CROWD on board NO ONE WAS LOOKING THEIR WAY!

SO, what does he do………….MY YOUNGEST NICHOLAS?

He grabs MOLLY’s phone to take a photo of her at THE HELM.

This is what HE CAPTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

NOTE KRISTOPHER is on ONE KNEE!

Look at the SPARKLES in THE BAY for their ENTRANCE!!!!!!!

THIS IS BLISS!

I am SO PROUD Of MY SON.

AS I STATED on INSTAGRAM

I GOT MY GIRL!!!!

F I N A L L Y.

THRILLED TO HAVE MOLLY APART of OUR FAMILY.

YES, HE IS ON HIS KNEE!

YES,HE ASKED HER FATHER FIRST!

THIS MAMA is VERY EXCITED!!!

I JUST HAD TO SHARE

THE JOY.

XOXOXOXO

    Such a beautiful romantic way to propose!! Congratulations to Kristopher and Molly!!! Remember so well when we were at lunch at your place when he had only just met her and was leaving lunch early to go and take her out. So exciting to have a girl in the family…..know just how you feel!!! Love that they sailed the boat down to San Diego to start their new life…….it will be a fun place for you to visit. Hope you had a happy Easter!! xo

    Congratulations to this darling couple. My husband did not purpose on a boat, but we did buy a sailboat the summer we married. Wonderful memories! Congratulations to you for earning a daughter out of this occasion. 😉

    Ma Chere Contessa,
    Yes, what lovely news!
    Both your sons are romantics like their Mom.
    Krisopher staged a truly romantic proposal, complete with traditional permission from his future father-in-law, His bride-to-be will have a prince of a husband. I am happy to hear that you are pleased with Molly.

    Nicholas captured all the romance of Kristopher and Molly’s special very happy moment.
    Wonderful gift from a loving brother.

    Contessa, such incredible excitement you must feel! It’s all so wonderful.
    Enjoy everything ahead.
    The Italian Papa must be equally excited.

    Thanks for sharing the excitement!
