The Deal of a Lifetime- Eleanor Eldredge & Adam Mills Engaged on QVC!
Eleanor & I were engaged on QVC on February 24th 2012. Here’s how it all happened…
It was the Fourth of July weekend, exactly one year after Christy and I had first met. To celebrate the occasion we planned a little trip, taking the airplane to fly down to Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks for a romantic long weekend getaway.
I moved out to New York City for grad school in the summer of 2011. I grew up in Downey, CA my entire life and I needed a change of scenery. My roommate and I started going out to a church, and I guess Jason was one of the welcoming ushers. I didn't notice him at all.

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, and the second largest city in Spain, with an enviable location right on the Mediterranean Sea. When you combine the energy and vibrancy of the city with the depth of its history and culture, you have the perfect location for a romantic proposal vacation.
Prague is a true fairy tale city, steeped in culture, history, and the atmospheric setting makes it the perfect place to ask that all important question.
It’s difficult to find a more romantic city than Venice. A place of legend and mystery that combines over a hundred small islands connected by a labyrinth of canals and tiny bridges.

Every couple will have a different set of priorities and criteria when it comes to setting that all important date. Your main concern may be the availability of your venue, the likelihood of good weather, or the chances of your nearest and dearest being able to attend.
The popularity of destination weddings is ever increasing as couples jet off with their nearest and dearest in search of sun, sea, sand and a stress-free wedding. Some couples love the idea of a destination wedding, while others can’t imagine getting married anywhere other than at home.
When couples are planning a wedding, the degree to which they stick to a particular style is quite varied. Some may have a fully themed wedding with every aspect of the day focussed on that theme, while others may have a very vague idea about the kind of feel they want their wedding to have.
Marriage Proposal Advice....
Public proposal seems to be growing in popularity. Proposal packages where performers call you and your girlfriend up on stage, waiters deliver the ring to your table with dessert, or where dolphins pass on your message with a special sign, are increasingly common.
Whether or not your proposal comes completely out of the blue will depend largely on how long you’ve been together and how much you’ve talked about getting married, but if you plan it right you can make a proposal a surprise in any situation.
Popping the question to your girlfriend might not seem like a complex operation, but there are quite a lot of factors to consider before you drop down on one knee.
