I've been dating my now fiance, Joseph Mier, for about two years. Here's the story of our engagement:

Being an aspiring photographer, I didn't want anyone else to take photographs of my boyfriend and I but myself. It's been something we have been putting it off for a while but one day Joseph really started to push the idea. Friday, April 4th I got off from work early and Joseph came up with the idea of having our shoot that day. Well, being a girl I immediately start panicking!

"What am I going to wear?!" "OMG my hair is a mess" "What shoes?!"

Joseph has always been the more spontaneous and easy going. I always tend to be a little over dramatic and everything has to be perfect! But I took a couple deep breaths and pulled it together. He helped me put an outfit together, I did my hair and make-up, grabbed the tripod and we're off!

We finally arrived at our destination. We walk around, having fun taking pictures, completely enjoying our time together. Joseph then shares that he has an idea for a picture and pulls me towards the sidewalk, he gets the camera ready and tells me where to stand. He explains that he will be standing behind me and with the remote I will snap the photo. He walks past me I wait about 30 seconds and turn around only to see him down on one knee. My world stops and all the people and cars around us were invisible. It was just him and I. I begin to cry and cry... and cry. I begin to walk towards him, I see his eyes starting to tear up, his hands are shaking and with the biggest smile he proposes! With tears and everything I say "YES! But I forgot to take the picture!!!" We are so lucky to have a photographer having her own shoot nearby to capture the whole thing!
It could not have been anymore perfect! This day was a dream come true for me!!!

The Future Mrs. Mier! (That's so cool to say!)
