She Said Yes!

After having been together since 2008, we have grown so much and learned so much. One thing I have really learned is how much I love this girl and how important she is in my life and in my happiness. We first met on Myspace where she sent me a friend request and soon after that we met in person at our church. I love her so much and I’m glad she enjoyed the way I proposed. Just in case anyone is curious, I proposed on Valentines day this year and since we were both off for the day, I planned a fun day leading to that moment. In the morning, I dropped her off 2 dress’s, (one for her to wear during the day) a stuffed puppy dog, roses and some chocolates at her doorstep.

Soon after that we went downtown, and up to the Tower of the America’s to see the view of the city. Then we walked the river walk and went to Salt Grass and a movie after. Lastly was the big moment! She thought we were just having a small evening get together with my parents and some family friends, but little did she know that her parents were upstairs waiting and the family friends that we had over were fellow photographers getting ready to photograph and record the big moment. When we got home, we sat her on the couch and played the video I made for her and as the video finished, her parents came downstairs and she started to cry as I got on my knees! She said yes as my heart was pounding and everyone was watching. It was a perfect day and I am so glad everything went according to plan. It’s interesting going from taking engagement and wedding pictures for others to planning my own! But I am extremely excited and thankful for all the love and support that friends and family have given us over the years. I hope to post more footage and pictures from the night when it is all ready. I hope everyone had a great Valentines day!

(PS. If you noticed the deformed chocolate box, my dog got to it the night before! But she still wanted the box like that. 😛 )
