Salisott

We live and work in Milwaukee, WI and we are a house divided... I'm a Cubs fan and she is a Brewers fan. When we are not kidding each other about baseball, we are taking care of our two dogs and spending tons of time with family and friends. We travel as much as possible but with the wedding costs adding up it's looking like that is on hold for the foreseeable future! The proposal (bear with it, it's a long story!!) On our third date, Alexandra took me letterboxing (http://www.letterboxing.org/). This sparked our love for the hobby. We have letterboxed all over the country since we have been dating. We also have a passion for Rocky Horror Picture Show. We have seen the midnight showing multiple times and often quote the movie in normal conversation... SO... I arranged to have a videographer pretend to be a college student making a documentary on letterboxing. He posted the ad on Craigslist and I "found it" one night before bed. I got Alex excited about it and we decided to "plant a box" in the documentary. After some pushing on my part we all agreed to do the interview/planting of the box on Halloween (our favorite holiday). Halloween came and I went to Alex's parent's house to get their blessing. I was so nervous I was shaking!! So I left her parents and went and met with the videographer to record a secret message to Alex. Then went and met with Alex and did the interview. When we got to the final place we were going to plant a box I asked her to check if there was something underneath the mailbox. Hidden there was a hand carved stamp of an engagement ring. I got down on one knee and proposed. I'm so glad to have it all on tape to watch for years and years. I'd love to hear from my Milwaukee sisters on their experiences!!
