Rom-Com!
This "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster hangs above my desk, but as you can see, I've had to renovate it a bit because… I'm engaged!
The juicy details: I flew to Palm Springs straight from work to meet up with my fiancé (owing to my lackluster French, I had to look that up just now—I am the fiancée!) for Easter weekend. He picked me up from the airport, had dinner all set and then wham!, he took a knee. It was romantic, it was beautiful, we were both exactly the opposite of cool, and I'm still giddy!
It wasn't until hours later that I realized all of this happened while I was wearing a Script Frenzy shirt!
I've never been the type of girl to dream about her proposal but had I been, I seriously doubt I would have been wearing a Script Frenzy shirt in that fantasy (no matter how much I love our merch!). It makes sense that I was, though, because the Office of Letters and Light has been a huge part of our lives. My fiancé was also an Office of Letters and Light Captain—Shipping Captain! You can see pictures of him and his sideburns taken during his tenure as Shipping Captain here. He's in squares 5, 25, 26, 51, and 53. (Do I sometimes take a detour through the Store when I'm missing him? Guess! Whether he's still shipping or not, he remains the Captain of my heart.)
This has been my Rom-Com moment! I'd love to hear yours, taken from your characters' lives or your own! Did nerves overcome cool? Did plans go awry? And did romance prevail anyway? Also, which of our shirts should I wear on the wedding day itself? I'm thinking a Winner Shirt is in order because that is exactly how I feel!
