ANOTHER PERFECT PROPOSAL

I have planned some of the most complicated wedding proposals around and don't get me wrong I love a challenge. We will help future grooms go to great lengths to make the perfect proposal happen.

However, for a change I was recently part of the most creative but easy to plan proposals around. He planned it all in his head and all he needed us for was to help execute it. It was a couple that had recently bought a house together and were moving in the day he called. He had already bought the ring and planned to propose in a very formal manner the next weekend.

When he called they were in the middle of moving and there was a moment when they had a laugh at how far they had come. They had been together through so many changes, college, jobs and learning the lessons of life. He said, he wanted to do it at that moment but he wanted to make it memorable. Most of their family was there helping them move and once he decided to do this on that day he needed a little help. My team secretly got some of the friends to come over and family members that were not there. We only had 2 hours to get flowers delivered a videographer and a photographer. Then we had to come up with a reason to make her believe a videographer and photographer would be there to record something other than the next major chapter in her life.

What we came up with is that we were doing a stories about couples that moved from the city to the suburbs and why they do it. Of course she declined to interview becasue she was in the middle of moving but stated we could get some shots of the house/landscaping if we would like. Once everyone was in place, her boyfriend let everyone know the real reason they were all there. He got down and one knee to her complete surprise.

My favorite part was when she complained about the way she looked. He told her just the way she was. He loved the woman he woke up next to every morning and didn't think she could be any more perfect than at that moment. He told her that he looked forward to many more mornings waking up next to her, observing her beauty in their home.

I really enjoyed this one not just because of the challenge but because of the sincerity. It was one of the most creative and beautiful moments I have ever been a part of.
