It’s official. We are reaching that age when friends are getting engaged and married. Lauren, a friend we graduated with from Mission Viejo High School, recently got engaged to her fiancé, Paul. She was kind enough to share her engagement video and photos. This is becoming a huge trend and we LOVE it. Who wouldn’t want a timeless moment recorded forever? Major props to Paul and we are so excited for you Lauren. Of course, we can not forget to mention their lovely photographer, Julie Hanna, and videographer, Thomas O’Hara of Aqua Vivus Productions who hid in bushes to capture this beautiful moment. That’s pure talent. We will post their proposal photos tomorrow and they are total eye candy.
Here is Lauren’s version of the story. “It was our three year dating anniversary on Sunday, February 7, 2010. We attended the 9am service at church and then headed off to take a drive along the coast. Most weekends, we drive up and down the beaches of San Diego and walk around at our leisure, so this was not out of the ordinary. We stopped in Mission beach and took a walk, then got back in the car and proceeded to Windansea beach in La Jolla. Once we arrived, we walked along the rocks as we reflected on how far we’ve come over the last three years. Our topic of conversation granted him the perfect opportunity to tell me how much he loves me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He got down on one knee, presented a Tiffany diamond ring, and asked me to marry him. I was so overwhelmed with joy and love that I could not stop the tears from coming! Although it might seem cliché to propose on the beach, it really is so fitting for us. Paul is an avid surfer and we are both lovers of all things ocean—we’ve spent countless hours together on the beach, and I honestly could not picture our engagement anywhere else.”
Lauren also shared how Paul purchased a bottle of wine in Australia in the beginning of their relationship and saved it just for that particular night! How incredible is that? It’s our delight to share this heart warming video of Paul and Lauren’s engagement. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Congrats again you two. Keep the video and photo trend going all you soon-to-be engaged love birds!
Love,
