Bride

Michelle and Stephen were engaged after a long and surprising day full of twists and turns. The day was filled with a series of clues that had a few of Michelle's friends come up to Michelle and Stephen's home for a "girl's" weekend. Michelle was taken by surprise on the morning of September 20, 2014. She had thought Stephen was going out of town with coworkers, but was quickly given a clue that would change her plans for the day. A limo arrived promptly at 8:40 am to pick her and her friends up and their scavenger hunt throughout the city began.

The opening note and rules:


 


Dear Michelle,


 


Before reading any further, be sure that someone is recording this on camera.


 


I have a confession to make: today is not what it seems and was not planned by you...it was planned by me. A special woman deserves a special day and today is the day you were waiting for! This day is dedicated entirely to you, the love of my life! It has been planned for a long time now, so lean back, relax and enjoy everything I have in store for you. It won't be easy, but I have some fun activities planned along the way too. There will be a few ground rules, but we will get to those in a second. Embrace the fun and excitement of all the twists and turns and if you complete my scavenger hunt, then I will reward you by asking you a very important, life-changing question.


 


The rules are as follows:


 


• You are not allowed to use your cell phone and you are not allowed to borrow any other cell phone to make calls, post to Facebook, etc. Give your phone to your friends for the rest of the day at this time.


 


• You are not allowed to use your wallet. Everything today has been taken care of and you must hand over your wallet at this time.


 


• You have to keep to the time allotted at each stop.


 


• At each clue, you must read the clue out loud and someone must film you.


 


Without further ado, follow the clues that I give you and above all, have fun! Today is all about you and the beginning of the rest of our life! Enjoy your first clue! So, what are you waiting for?!?! Go get showered and dressed in some comfortable clothes and get ready for the limo that will arrive at 8:40 am. There, you will find your first clue of the day. Enjoy!


 


I love you,


 


Steve
