We are privy to a lot of wonderful proposal stories, but this beauty, from Houston bride Emily, has got to be one of our favorites: \u201cChris proposed to me in our apartment on a Monday night. He used a chalkboard piggy bank that I had bought him a few years before. I was sick and Chris tried to convince me that there was medicine in the bathroom, but I didn’t believe him. We both went to the bathroom to see if there was any medicine in there and he had the piggy bank set up with a single rose in the slot. On the piggy bank it said, \u2018turn around.\u2019 I thought he meant turn the piggy bank around so I did and on the other side it said \u2018wedding fund.\u2019 That’s when I turned around to see Chris down on his knees asking me to marry him.\u201d The couple\u2019s daytime wedding was full of vintage touches and whimsy, from the guys\u2019 old-school Converse sneaks to the tiered red-velvet cupcakes to the pretty wedding palette of pale green, light yellow, gray and white. Mexican food and a ceremony conducted by the bride\u2019s standup-comic brother added to the fun\u2014which was not dampened one bit when a flower girl accidentally fell into a fountain while one of the bridesmaids was toasting the couple. \u201cShe was fine,\u201d Emily smiles. And she grins about this bit, too: \u201cAs silly as it sounded to our wedding planner, we really wanted to incorporate piggy banks into our decor. You should have seen people\u2019s faces when we told them we were using piggy banks as wedding decorations! They turned out so cute and once people read our engagement story they understood and thought it was pretty cool.\u201d And so do we. Congratulations, Emily and Chris, and huge thanks to the wonderful Alicia Pyne of Alicia Pyne Photography<\/a> for beautiful photos of this delightful day.<\/p>\n
