An Almost-Proposal on Possession Day...
On possession day, we helped a couple buy their dream home. Sean had the ring in his pocket and almost proposed during the celebration photo
Possession days are always a whirlwind of excitement and celebration, marking the beginning of new chapters in life. But one possession day a couple of years ago turned out to be even more memorable—almost unforgettable in a completely unexpected way!
We had just helped a wonderful couple sell their old home and purchase their dream forever home. As part of our tradition, we brought along a possession day sign and a bottle of champagne to commemorate the special day. The couple was absolutely radiant, thrilled to start this new chapter together. We didn't know that Sean, the now husband, had a very special secret in his pocket that could have made this day even more remarkable.
When it came time for the possession day photo, Sean later revealed that he had been carrying an engagement ring in his pocket the entire time. He shared with us afterward that he had almost dropped to one knee right then and there, standing in front of their new home, possession day sign in hand and champagne ready to pop.
The moment was nearly perfect for a proposal, but Sean ultimately decided to wait for the right moment to make it even more special.
Soon after, Sean did propose, and their new home officially became the foundation for their life together, with love leading the way. Hearing this story later truly melted our hearts. As realtors, we're privileged to be part of these milestone moments, but this story reminded us that sometimes, possession day is even more meaningful than we can imagine.
To this day, we joke that if a proposal happens on possession day, we'll be ready to capture that magical moment with our camera in hand. We've learned that you never really know how special a possession day might be—sometimes, it holds unexpected moments that make it even more meaningful. We love celebrating love and all the unique stories that come with it.
We're honoured to be part of our clients' journeys, and we can't wait to see what future possession days bring. Who knows, maybe we'll be there for the real proposal next time! No matter what, we're always ready to celebrate these big milestones with our clients and their families.
