On Saturday, I took pictures for a
newlywed couple at the Columbus, Ohio Temple. As we wrapped up their photo session and headed out of the gardens surrounding the Temple, I noticed two bears on a bench.
At first I thought the bears might have belonged to the couple who just got married. But they walked right past.
Curious, I took a closer look and noticed the dazzling necklace the bride bear wore.
The pendant said "Marry Me?"
Oh boy. I knew something big was about to go down... and so I waited around the Temple grounds.
Soon, an adorable couple entered the gate and started down the path. I knew it had to be them (though I have never met them before)!
And so I followed from a distance with my camera ready. He got right to business...
He is down on one knee... hoping for a YES!
Woohoo! Looks like a yes.
Then I boldly moved closer.
And she is swept off the ground!
It was so sweet. I was getting all teary-eyed.
And here comes the ring...
Awww!
And here is the bride-to-be with a dazzling ring!
Check out his smile! Well done!
No proposal would be complete without a kiss!
Yowza!
So romantic.
I figured I had intruded enough, so I handed them my card and told them to contact me for the pictures. I didn't even know their names.
But I do now...
Congratulations BreAyne and Lucas!
