Today Joe and I went to search for the "Who is the Author?" series up
in Doylestown, PA. We found #1 after first overshooting it (we always
either overshoot or stop too soon!!) and stamped in. #2 we had to
save for later, because on of the park maintenance trucks and driver
were right in front of it.
On to #3. Found it easily. We pull out the box and sit down to stamp
in. As is my custom, I start looking through the logbook and all of
the people who have stamped in before us. Imagine my surprise when
all of a sudden, I see Joe's handwriting. Turns out that while I
thought he was at work for hours yesterday, he drove up to
Doylestown, scoped out the series, and wrote in the third box
log: "Hello Kathryn! I know how much letterboxing means to you! So I
skipped out early and beat you to this one... But while I have you
here and before our vacation on Saturday: Will you marry me...? Love,
Joe"
Then he got down on one knee and presented me with a ring. Of course
I said yes :)
I was shocked, to put it mildly! Especially since I've wanted him to
propose this way for months, but never actually told him! He thought
it up all by himself :)
Just thought I'd share my happy day with you all!

aka Fleur de Lis
PS: I ripped the note he wrote out of the logbook so I can keep
it... :)

Good thing the trucks weren't in front of box #3!
Congrats!

Is the wedding going to be at a gathering ? That would
be really great.
Good Luck.

Congratulations! I've heard of one or two others who were proposed to via letterboxing and it makes me wonder how many women were proposed to via a letterbox?
