Love Happens on Titanic’s Grand Staircase
- by Jaynee, Titanic First Class Maid
There’s something so overwhelmingly romantic about Titanic’s Grand Staircase that it’s almost scary, in a lovely way. I’ve seen what it can do to people from the proposals to the “I do’s” to the vow renewals. Whatever stage of LOVE our loving couples are in, the Grand Staircase experience takes them to a new level of understanding, passion and devotion.
To illustrate, let me tell you the story of Josh and Brittanie. Josh is something of a romantic, a Missouri lad who met and lost Brittanie when they were in grade school. Years later, the internet played cupid and brought these two long lost friends together again. Following a short courtship, Josh took Brittanie to Titanic and proposed marriage on the Grand Staircase. One year later, Josh returned to the internet and found the ideal location for their wedding -Titanic’s Grand Staircase, of course. “It was beyond reality, it made us feel like first-class passengers aboard a remarkable ship, being married by Titanic’s Captain in the presence of our family and friends,” Josh and Brittanie told me. This marked the first time that both a proposal and a wedding had taken place on the Grand Staircase
Their story, like those of countless others who have taken their wedding vows or renewed them at Titanic, is now part of a proud legacy that we all hold dear at the museum attraction. They are adding new life to a timeless story that began on April 10, 1912 when 12 newlywed couples boarded the ship of dreams with many hundreds of other couples, rich and poor, all destined to be united for eternity. Their love stories are without end as long as there are those who remember. We remember them well at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Missouri. |
