March 20: National Ravioli Day and Proposal Day

Today is National Proposal Day. So I have my wedding almost completely planned. The only problem is that I don't know who I am marrying nor do I currently have a boyfriend. But those two things aren't that important. I plan on getting married on a small island in the middle of a lake in Slovenia. Random? Yes. Beautiful? Absolutely. I fell in love with that place (and possibly the cute red-headed boy who rowed us across to the island in a boat) two summers ago when I visited with my family. I know that I am having chocolate covered strawberries at my wedding. And that I am having an ice-cream bar, cupcakes, and a cake! I also happen to know how I want to be proposed to.

Several of my close friends have very strict instructions on how my future-husband is allowed to propose to me. Does it have to be big and elaborate? Yes. I witnessed a proposal at Disney last Fall when I worked there. It was magical. I had previously wanted my future-husband to propose to me in a hot air balloon. However, I read an article about a man who proposed to his girlfriend in a hot air balloon, he then lost control of the hot air balloon and it crashed into the ocean. They were rescued by a combination of random surfer dudes and the coast guard. I never found out if she managed to not lose her ring in the ocean or if she changed her mind and later rejected him. Anyways, I plan to play it safe. I do however, plan on arriving to my wedding party (which will be held in the U.S. not in Slovenia) in a hot air balloon. Let's hope it's not windy that day. I would hate for my ice-cream bar to melt before I got to eat any.

Anyways, currently, I want my future-husband-to-be to give the proposal ring to Mickey Mouse ahead of time, and then when we go to get our picture taken with Mickey, my husband will get down on one knee and Mickey will hand me the ring. Let's just hope Mickey doesn't get confused and hand the ring to someone else by mistake. It will be magical and it will be perfect.


It's also National Ravioli Day. I made ravioli in the shape of Easter eggs. They happen to be spring themed so they are pink and green and yellow. Super cute! They were also super good.
