I’m a presentation person. I like gifts with pretty wrappings tied up with bows, plated dinners, and out-of-the-box fonts. I enjoy effort, thought, details and emotions. Which was why Bryan’s proposal to Angie was like a little piece of sugared mint on my crème brulee day.

He faked it. Her first day off in while and he faked being sick. A great cover considering his family recently had the stomach flu. So while she lounged, mildly annoyed, downstairs, he plotted and printed…and waited…upstairs. Finally, his ‘sickness’ was too much to bear and he asked her if she could run out and get him some ginger ale. While she went to the store to care for him, he was busy running around at home, preparing, planning…and waited. As soon as she opened the door, she knew. Maybe it was the ribbon strung from the door, crisscrossing up the stairs, maybe it was the little messages and photos he clipped the ribbon, or maybe it was a feeling in the air. Whatever it was, she knew. Slowly reading each message, absorbing each image, remembering each moment as it came. She finally reached the end of the ribbon on the bedroom door with the final message: Finish. Open door to start a new beginning.

Perfection.

Bryan and Angie-thanks for a seriously un-serious session! I had a great time catching up and laughing with you guys, I know you’ll be so happy together and I wish you the very very best in your life together!

And this is what most of the session looked like: all of us laughing. Were they laughing at me? Was I laughing at them? Who knows-we did have a great time, though!!

The ribbon that Bryan used to string throughout the house to and set up his proposal to Angie–setting the bar high for other soon-to-ask guys out there! 🙂
