Yesterday, Jeromy and I went to Grapevine Lake. All weekend, he had been saying that he wanted to go up there and take pictures. Grapevine Lake is very special to us - it is where we shared our first kiss and it’s a common spot for us to just go spend time. We often go for long drives in the area, or just walk and talk. We’ve had many wonderful memories there.

Jeromy grabbed the tripod and the camera and we went on our way. We strolled until we got close to the area where we shared our first kiss over a year and a half ago (the exact spot is under water currently). Jeromy set up the tripod and told me to go by the shore so he could see if I would be in the frame. I told him I looked horrible but he said that we were just messing around and that if things went well, we would come back and take some nice couple pictures.

I stepped into frame and Jeromy grabbed the camera remote and headed over by me. We shared a kiss and looked at the water. Then, he looked at me and smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little box - he looked at me and asked, “Will you marry me?” I couldn’t believe it - I was shocked, excited, happy, and crying - all at once. I remember hopping a couple of times and just grabbing the poor guy.

It goes without saying that I am beyond thrilled. I love Jeromiah with all of my heart and can’t believe how we have been brought into each other’s lives. He truly is my best friend and soul mate. I’m looking forward to our wonderful life ahead. Like many of my clients and friends, I will be starting the wedding planning process. I’m fortunate to have been exposed to so many great ideas due to my involvement with Red Brick Photography.
