I know I’ve already said this on Twitter & FB, but wanted to ‘officially’ share the news here on the blog – along with a little video from the night I got engaged! Quick recap of the story: So last month, I’m in San Diego, Eric is back home in Washington. Right after the June workshop, Eric texted me and told me that he had booked me a massage for that day… such a great (unexpected) surprise for me. He told me he wanted to pamper me after a long week of work (so sweet of him!) Little did Eric know, that was a day that M & I decided to work on a HUGE project (which we’ll announce later)… we were in the midst of a big, all-day photo shoot for this project, and there was no way I was going to make it to the massage appointment. So I had Ashley call to change the appointment. (I just HAD to throw a little wrench in the plans). When the spa called me back to tell me that I couldn’t change my appointment after all, M told me that I could leave and she’d finish up the photo shoot without me (thanks M!). So I had the most amazing, relaxing massage… and afterward, my masseuse leads me out to this beautiful private pool area overlooking the ocean… with a firepit, champagne, and Eric there waiting for me. So then… he got down on his knee, popped the question, and I said YES!
After the proposal, we headed to a local restaurant for some food… and this is where the next surprise was waiting… my whole family, AND Eric’s whole family, waiting there to celebrate with us! As soon as I saw everyone, I was just completely overwhelmed (as you will see in the video below). 🙂 A HUGE thank you to my future bro-&sis-in-law, Andy & Leah from Thomson Images, for shooting this video – it’s so special to me, to be able to look back and remember this moment! (Thanks you guys!)
Ok – so now for a funny story. Eric, being the sweet guy that he is, tried to be sneaky with getting my ring. Since he didn’t know what size my ring finger is, he snuck into my house and stole one of my rings from my room. Only thing is, he stole a thumb ring. 🙂 So… my beautiful ring fits PERFECTLY on my thumb!
Aww, that is the sweetest thing! I love the video and your ring look beautiful, even on your thumb 😉 Congratulations again!!!
Cutest proposal <3 Well done Eric!
