Lily and Clark met almost three years ago when they came to Greenville for college. Clark had seen photos of Cancer Survivors Park in downtown Greenville and decided he wanted to propose to Lily there. We talked on New Year’s Eve and worked out a time to go a few weeks later.
I went down to Cancer Survivors Park a week beforehand around the time that we had planned to be there. First of all, I wanted to see where the light would be at that hour so we could plan for the best spot. Second of all, I saw some pictures of how places near it had gotten totally flooded a few days earlier, so I needed to make sure it wasn’t destroyed before we planned to be there. Third, I didn’t know how many people are there at 8 AM on a Saturday in the winter—thankfully, it was mostly empty. I sent Clark pictures of three spots that I thought would be good for the proposal and he told me which one he liked the best. I told him, “Hopefully it won’t be so cold and windy next week!”
Well, it wasn’t windy on the day of the proposal, but it was even colder than it was the day that I checked it out! In order to get to the spot we had chosen, we had to walk past a digital billboard, which told us it was sunny and 20 degrees. Lily was wearing a pretty blue trench coat, which was perfect for this winter day. When Clark proposed, we pretty much had the park to ourselves, so it was nice and quiet for them. They celebrated afterwards with brunch at Tupelo Honey Cafe.
