Mark and Katie – The Proposal!

I am going a little out of order for blogging but I was so excited to post about what happened today! My little cousin popped the question to his wonderful girlfriend today and I got to be in on the surprise! And boy was she surprised!!!  This all went down at Disneyland!

When Mark and Katie walked by, the rose and poem were already on the ground waiting for them…but Mark didn’t see it!   Oops!  He somehow convinced Katie to walk back by the Matterhorn and luckily saw it this time!

He opened the poem and started reading it to Katie.  Notice his empty hand behind his back…

…and magically there is a ring box in his hand now!  Okay, not magic.  My good friend Lindsay was near by with the ring and did a little stealth hand off.  The best part – Katie didn’t even notice it!

I’m a little surprised these came out as well as they did…I was bawling like a baby at this point!  haha

Still in disbelief…she was not expecting this at all!

Then off to a mini engagement shoot at the castle!

And that wasn’t the end of it!  Mark had Katie’s parents waiting at the Blue Bayou!  When Katie saw them, she cried again and said that having them there made everything so perfect!  Mark put so much hard work in to this!  After dinner, they headed back to San Diego where a party of their friends and family were waiting to celebrate with them!

Awesome job Mark!  I am so happy for you two and feel so blessed to be able to be a part of this!

 

And a special shout out to my besties, Yvette and Lindsay for helping with the logistics of the proposal!  You girls rock!
