More Excitement

We have had another exciting, joyful event in our lives.

Emily's boyfriend, Anthony, planned a surprise proposal. He decided that he wanted to be surrounded by the love of friends and family when he asked Emily to marry him.

As you will see, she was totally taken off guard. The video is long, but the actual proposal part is only a couple of minutes.

Skip to about 1:30 - that's when Em walks in the door - the back door! We were waiting for her to come in the front, but it worked out ok.

Then after the proposal is just a bunch of hugging and misc. footage so you can ignore that part, too.

Have fun!

I'm editing this a day later because I was with Emily last night and when I told her that I had put the video on my blog she asked, "Did you tell them the story?"

Well. No. I thought the video was explanation enough.

"You mean you didn't even tell them why he wrote a poem - that was one of the sweetest parts!"

So, the reason for the little poem in the proposal: The way Anthony asked Emily out on their first date was by having a stuffed animal delivered to her college dorm room. The little monkey was holding a card on which was written a cute poem asking her if she would go on a date with him to the zoo.

Tada! Happy Em? :)
