It&#8217;s a PROPOSAL!! I was so thrilled when Patrick (Sparky) called me to let me know he was going to be proposing to one of my best friends, EMILY! I was so happy! Well the day approached and I sat nervous as can be in Jackson Square last Saturday with my husband Randy! Just waiting for the big moment&#8230; Sparky had a nice romantic day planned for the two of them. It started off with some drinks in the Quarter and window browsing on Royal Street. Sparky was calling me every now and then (when he would tell Emily he needed to go to the bathroom) and filling me in on what was going on and when they would arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Well the moment came and I saw them approaching&#8230; all I could think was oh noooo, she&#8217;s going to see me, she&#8217;s going to see me!!! I had on a hat and sunglasses in hopes that I would be less visible! Although the lighting isn&#8217;t perfect and there&#8217;s times when they stepped into the direct sun, it&#8217;s okay! This moment is saved and frozen in time for them and I couldn&#8217;t have been happier to be there for it!<\/p>\n<p>So here it goes&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>This is them walking through Jackson Square&#8230;.
