The Engagement Story
It’s been 6 weeks since Luke has asked me to marry him, and until now I have failed to disclose any more details, having been asked to…and the fact that it is technically “work related” here’s the story….
It’s a Saturday morning, one that I must have had at least 15-20 family portrait sessions to take that day and I was trying to get to work early. So I pulled up to Barnett Portrait Studio with a gallon of milk and a box of cereal. Low and behold someone was sitting on the steps of the business waiting for the studio to open. At first glance I thought it was a stranger and got a bit nervous, but as I approached I saw it was Luke. At this moment I thought nothing of it. Luke often greets me at work or meets me after work, or meets me for lunch, all while being the sweetness that he is. So when he started listing the great qualities we have in each other I was clueless. (note I am holding my camera bag in one hand and my breakfast in the other). Then Luke went on to remind me it was a year previous that we started dating right here at that very spot, and mentioned he had something for me. Then ding ding the light comes on, so I asked him if I was about to cry, and he said maybe. So thinking quickly i set the breakfast cereal on the curb along with the milk. Then he got down on one knee right there on the edge of the street and ask me to marry him…..and I said Yes.
Wedding Plans…are still very much in the making but we have picked Saturday, March 22nd of 2008 as the wedding date! The ceremony will be in Mankato at Hosanna Lutheran Church with a reception to follow.
