I was so caught up in the planning and stress of having 60 of our families and close friends over that I didn\u2019t even notice Shane sneaking around the day of the party. By the time the party came around, he announced that he planned a game (which I knew nothing about). So he pulls the names &#8211; me, my brother, and my two best friends are seated and blindfolded. We each opened a gift, my friends opened late spare flutes, brother opened champagne and I opened a toy ring. He told me good job you guessed it, you can take your blindfold off. And when I did, he was on one knee!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10074 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ef099c78.jpg\" alt=\"Essense of Australia Style D1269\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ef099c78.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ef099c78-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Dress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rachel wore <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essensedesigns.com\/essense-of-australia\/wedding-dresses\/d2169\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style D2169<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on her wedding day.

The church had these large wooden doors at the entrance where the aisle began. I anxiously waited behind those doors with my papa on my arm for what seemed like hours. I was so ready to see Shane. Finally, the doors opened and as soon as they did thunderstruck- it was pure magic.
