We had just left church and were trying to decide on where to have lunch afterwards. We were having trouble making a decision and so Adam said "Let's go back to my house for a minute while we decide. I want to show you something".

When we walked into Adam's home, I had not seen his Christmas tree yet and was admiring the ornaments on it. The tree is artificial, which is important to the story :)

Adam then picked up a live branch on his mantle and started to tell me that the branch was from the Rockefeller Christmas tree and that he had gotten it from my parents when he asked their permission two weeks prior to marry me. ( Side story: My parents take an annual trip to New York around the holidays and my mom always gets a sprig of the Rockefeller tree from one of the "elves" that trims it. ) My parents had gotten a spring for Adam, knowing how much he enjoys Christmas and when he asked for their blessing, my mom had given it to him that day.

Adam then dropped to one knee in his home and asked me to be his wife.
