Santa convinces Jacksonville man to propose

Santa urged him saying, “Well, ask her now! I’ll help.”

Any guys out there who got nervous with the whole proposal thing? Well, you can relate to Scott Hill.

Turns out Scott had the ring in his pocket.  

But a plan to propose?  Nope.

So he was strolling around a craft show in Jacksonville with his sweetie, Dawn Seleen, a Vystar employee from Orange Park. 

All caught up in the Christmas mood, Scott says, “I was looking for a Christmas tree – or some backdrop for Christmas.”  And then he spotted Santa.

The couple decided to be young- at- heart and tell Santa their holiday wishes. Santa asked Scott, “So what do you want for Christmas?”

Scott pointed to Dawn and answered, “I want her.”  

And here’s where we find out the Jolly Ol’ Elf has a pushy side.  Santa told Scott, “Well, ask her now!  I’ll help.”

Scott says, “I’ve been praying for a soulmate for 10 years or longer.”  So he jumped into the moment and proposed—on his knees.

Dawn was totally surprised.  She says,  “I looked at him, and he’s got tears in his eyes, which got me in tears.”   Meanwhile, she says, “Santa the whole time is patting my back because it was so emotional.”

Strangers started gathering.  Who doesn’t like romance, right?  

Applause broke out.

Oh, and she said, “YES!”  

Scott gave Dawn his mother’s ring, an extra special moment because his mother had passed away 12 years ago.

So congratulations to Scott Hill and Dawn Seleen!  

(Marriage and honeymoon plans are still being discussed.  Wonder if Santa ever attends weddings?)
