A Unique Experience at 1812 Pierce House in Maine

Don’t you just love a thoughtful fella? Double bonus if he’s thoughtful and romantic. Oooooh, I’m already swooning at the thought.

As suckers for love and romance, the Crooked Steeple Hall team was thrilled when Colby contacted us to assist with his surprise for the love of his life, Amy.

As a guest of 1812 Pierce House, Colby wanted help setting up candles so he could set the stage for his grand proposal to Amy. Of course, we happily obliged.

There was much to do to ensure that the evening would be perfectly memorable for Colby and Amy so we engaged our tight-knit community of Winterport. Colby shipped the candles to us and set the scene while we reached out to Hannaford in Hampden for flowers and grabbed a little bit of bubbly from the Winterport Winery.

Thanks to my two young boys for setting up the candles (as you can see here, they laid them out in the shape of a heart) and good friends and Winterport locals, Jessica and Scott King who jumped in to help set the scene and make Colby’s vision come to life. They lit the heart-shaped candles and staged the flowers and champagne for the proposal.

Then it was time for the action. We were fairly certain the answer would be yes but we were sweating bullets with anticipation.

We gave the couple privacy for their special moment as we waited with bated breath for the “yes."

Of course, as anticipated, she said yes!

Breathing safely resumed and the couple whisked away to The Bacon Tree* restaurant for a romantic, celebratory dinner.
