The proposal The proposal: Travis was in Chicago. It was New Year's Eve weekend and my family was celebrating Christmas. I got a strange present. It was a photo box with 2 envelopes and a smaller present inside. The first envelope: an invitation to have dinner in Chicago. The second: a plane ticket to Chicago. The present: a photo album filled with pictures of me and Travis. The next day I boarded the plane to Chicago dressed up. A mutual friend picked me up and took me downtown Chicago. I met Travis in front of a small church. We stood outside for a couple minutes talking and then Travis grabbed my hands, looked into my eyes, and said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said "Yes I will"and he put the diamond ring on my finger. We had dinner on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Bldg in the Signature Room, overlooking Chicago. Afterwards, we took a carriage ride around the city. It was the best proposal I could imagine.
