Cynthia & Richard Amazing Proposal - San Francisco Chronicle

You cannot vote for this story anymore, as this story participated in constest that ended on June 30, 2012

4:30am August 13 2011. Richard wakes me up to go on a hike. I ask why since its still 4:30am and he responds and says it would be nice to catch the sunrise. I didn't think twice of it because Richard is very adventurous and likes being spontaneous, so I reluctantly drag myself out the house. We go to Fremont Older in Cupertino, CA. The trail leads up a mountain and at the top there is a landing area with a bench. As I approach the top, I see rose petals on the ground. At that point I was thinking and said to Richard, "Oh how sweet! Someone got proposed to here last night!" I still had no idea it was all for me. The sun is just starting to rise and I'm trying to soak in the beautiful view. I look around and see a newspaper on the bench. I turn to Richard and say, "That's weird, someone left a newspaper." Richard walks over to the bench and tells me that it was today's newspaper and suggests that we read it. Still at this point I had no idea what was in store. Being still half awake and not observant, I honestly thought the newspaper was forgotten by a previous hiker. I agree to look through the paper and Richard hands me the datebook section in the San Francisco Chronicle. I still don't think anything was out of the ordinary since I rarely read the paper and only like reading about movies and TV shows. So I flip through the paper and see an ad of my dog Teddy and under the picture it says "Cynthia I love you Will you marry me? -Richard" I look up from the paper and Richard is holding a box with a ring. How could I say no to a man who woke up at 3:00am to run to find the nearest open store with the paper and run up a mountain in the dark to set this all up.

	Hi Best for Bride! My wedding day was absolutely amazing and my dress was part of the reason why it was exactly that. I had been shopping for exactly the right dress for my full figure and curves and did not really feel comfortable with my other experiences at other stores until I came to your store. All the sales clerks were helpful. The price was perfect and it arrived on time well in advance of the wedding date. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!

	Laura Cutting and her Bridesmaids Experience with Best for Bride was just amazing Ladies please tell me about your experience at Best For Bride. Our experience was just amazing, the ladies here were extremely helpful. They even picked out a dress for you but you didn't even think will look great and it just was amazing. They were very helpful, very personable. I would definitely recommend this store to all my friends. Yeah, pretty much you summed it all up in those words. I never would have put that dress on me and she just said "Put it on" and I loved it and I stood in it for I think half an hour and I definitely love it and it's gonna look amazing like in the color that we want to be for your wedding and the help we got has been the best I have seen so far. It's has been perfect. Being the bride was definitely a great experience. It was kind of experience you always dream of ... going in and getting all the help. If you have ever seen "Say Yes to the Dress" Kleinfeld, it's like that in Canada. You get to come in (but more polite) and more personal. It's a small cute little store you get pampered pretty much and that's what everyone wants but they are not pushy. No. No. Thank you so much ladies. Thank you. WATCH MORE VIDEO TESTIMONIALS ...
