We have a family tradition of each person opening one gift the night before Christmas. That year my mom decided the gift would be an ornament with an inspirational message inside. Everyone opened their ornaments and read their messages aloud, one at a time. I was last because my mom couldn\u2019t seem to find my ornament on the tree. Sean found the ornament for her and he handed it to me. When I opened it my message read, \u2018Will you marry me?\u2019 I was so shocked and excited that I didn\u2019t even notice that he was already down on one knee with the ring in his hand telling me how much he loves me. It was perfect! I loved finding out later that Sean had asked my dad for his permission before proposing.\u201d We love it, too, Jessica. And, just like your mom, we love that you had her wedding gown altered to wear at your rehearsal dinner at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_ceremony_receptions_locations\/grove_houston.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">The Grove<\/a>. And that you made the invitations to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_ceremony_receptions_locations\/chateau_cocomar.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Chateau Cocomar<\/a> wedding by hand. And that Sean\u2019s favorite moment of the whole wedding was when he got his \u201cfirst look\u201d at you, privately, in the moments before the ceremony. And, most of all, that you and Sean found each other, and true love, in this big, wide world. Congratulations to you both, and big thanks to the exceptional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/Professionals\/houston_wedding_photographers\/Steve_Lee_Weddings.aspx\"
