Photos from The Great Proposal
Taking a picturesque photo with unsuspecting Sandy. At this time we were a bit early and I took us to this spot to "burn" some time so that we would arrive at the cache location at the right time.
Walking down the trail to the cache
Finding the cache container
Over 200 fake rings to search through!
Sandy smiles thinking it was a "normal" cache
A pic from the digital camera that I carried
Sandy finds a card inside that says "Choose One". She picks out a plastic gold ring with a purple gem and is thrilled with her choice.
I set up a tripod and snap another photo. At this point Sandy still thinks it's a "normal" cache.
It was at this point that I disclose that I was the one who designed this cache. Sandy asks "Is there a REAL ring in here?" I smile and nod.
The frantic search begins!
I snap a photo of Sandy as she desperately searches for the prize!
The photo from that camera
Sandy, extremely excited, asks for my hat to put the rings in to help sort them out.
Using one of our hats to sort out the rings
Sandy finds the ring and I take a photo of the moment
A picture from my camera at that moment
A shot from the remote, spy camera
The time has come. I ask her to marry me!
She says "Yes!"
PG-13 rating: Children, avert your eyes!
I tell her that there are many more people involved than she is aware of, like that guy with the camera over there in the bush.
What guy?
The happily engaged couple!
What a memorable memorial day weekend!!!
