A LOVE STORY FIT FOR THE SILVER SCREEN

We get there and start on the hike to the falls. In no time (like 5min) we get to the waterfall and observe a little from the overlook. My mom suggests “Let’s all go get a picture by the falls together!” Everyone else “Yeah, yeah, lets. What a cool pic, yeah let’s go!!” 

I think “wow this is the most organized we’ve ever been for a picture so soon into a hike.” We make our way down to the water fall, chat with some people who are there who soon make their way away from the falls. “Don’t let us chase you off!” I say and everyone immediately says “No, no, let them go if they want.” So, I make my way onto the rock in front of the falls. I’m out there very oddly by myself for our “Family” pictured. Then she gets out (as everyone is awkwardly hanging back) and John comes out to get a picture of the two of us. “Sweet,” I think to myself.

Beautiful Friendship

THE START OF A

starring John & christine

500 pics later, my brother videoing and John saying “one more, one more,” I’m asking myself where the enthusiasm for the family pic went and take a step away …. and when I turn around, John was on his knee with the most beautiful ring (clutched with ALL TEN fingers because water, and sweating, calmly, sweating bullets) with the biggest and earnest smile, asked “Christine, will you marry me?”
