Mellon Arena: December 18, 2005. Trans Siberian Orchestra Rock Concert. While the musicians were jamming on stage, snow began falling from the ceiling. My guy turned to me and proposed. It was magical. I could not have asked for a more perfect proposal. I later learned that he had actually made a gigantic glow in the dark poster which said, "Marry Me, Christie?" He had purchased tickets for two of his students to sit across the arena but the staff refused to allow the sign to be brought in to the concert.
I considered using the proposal as the inspiration for our wedding theme. I began collecting ideas for a Winter Wonderland Wedding. Within a few months, I had a two inch thick binder with oodles of ideas and ten Rubbermaid containers of decor purchased. Like so many other brides, I changed my mind and went with a completely different theme.
