A Story of "Love"

This entry is dedicated to the romantic in all of us. 
A word of warning: this story will make you fall in love. It did us.

This week, we had the gift of being part of an unfolding.
We enjoyed creating this cake,
even though we cannot truly take the full credit for its design. 
We were given specific instructions, you see:

1. There were to be tropical/palm trees.
2. There was to be a smiling, loveable turtle on the top of the cake.
 3. There was to be sand... like the beach. 
And a sign saying: "Happy Birthday Love, love you heaps!" - TJ
4. The cake was to be a picture of paradise.
5. Because it was to be a vessel for this:
Jane & her fiance, Arvee, were honored 
to have the privilege of witnessing this great moment.
When they delivered the cake (nb., we prefer delivering our creations ourselves),
"Love" (the name of our story's heroine, if you haven't already figured out) 
was on her way to pick "TJ" up from the airport 
after a 2-week work-related trip to Brissy.
In short, our delivery staff of the day were invited to stay 
for their intimate family gathering
to apparently 'celebrate Love's birthday'. 
Everyone was in on the decoy - except Love.

She said "YES" of course!
And they shall live happily ever after.

Thank you for joining us in this sugary sweet journey.
