Mystery Couple's Engagement Begins With Public Proposal

A creative, public marriage proposal appeared to have a favorable response this week in Buffalo Grove.

A series of chalk drawings, featuring books with pages bearing words such as “love,” “honor” and “cherish” led the intended audience — and other curious residents — from Bernard Drive to the back of the , where an elaborate mural depicting London scenes was drawn in colored chalk.

Within the mural was the proposal, a traditional, “Will you marry me?”

Below it, someone replied with a simple “Yes.”

Messages of congratulations from well-wishers, including “Mom,” “Dad” and “Grandma” also adorned the pavement.

Congratulations to the happy couple. Buffalo Grove Patch would love to meet them! If this was your proposal or you know whose it was, please email cristel@patch.com.
