The Ring

Well it is official everyone, I will be getting married on October 3rd in Vernal Utah. Last week I proposed to Shana in the Geekiest way I could and as you may have figured out she said yes. I will try to explain how I proposed in a way that will make sense because it is a little confusing. In the weeks leading up to the proposal I though of all the ways people I knew had gotten engaged. I also talked to a lot of people including friends of Shana's to find out what she might like. I wanted to do something unique that fitted us and that I could somehow surprise her with. I decided to make a video of myself saying that I had something to ask her. The video then went to some music and a slide show with pictures of her and I. At this point I pulled out he ring got on my knee and asked the big question. This worked well for us because be are always watching movies and different tv shows. I edited in my clip into an episode of a show we where watching and waited for the clip of me to start. I think it all went really well and Shana was definitely surprised because I was not suppose to even have the ring until the next day.

So the first thing I learned when I picked up the ring for Shana is that rings are really hard to take a good picture of but here are a couple I think turned out ok.
