Posted by Anthology for Books, Geneseo, Ill.: "We've been bursting to share this beautiful moment with you! Now that the happy couple have told all their people, we can reveal what happened at the bookstore just before Christmas. 
Kody had a remarkable vision for his marriage proposal, and it had to take place at Anthology. His plan: surprise Braelyn by hiding a ring in a book that we kept safely behind the counter, awaiting their arrival during Geneseo's magical Christmas Walk.
"The couple strolled in from the cold just after 7pm that Saturday evening. Jim handed Kody the book, Kody handed it to Brae, and the unsuspecting bride-to-be sloooooowwwwwly studied the book jacket. At long last, with a little page-turning from Kody, she found the gem and gasped just as he dropped to one knee and proposed.
"She. Said. Yes. Laughter, tears, so much joy! We're honored that this precious moment took place in our bookstore. Please join us in congratulating this special couple as they plan the next chapter of their sweet love story!"
