BEFORE THE WEDDING
Occupations:
Jon = Project Manager @ Siemens Building Technologies
Grace = Software Engineer @ 3M Health Info Systems
How the couple met:
Online at chemistry.com
How he proposed:
We had a regular family dinner with Andrew, his 9 yr old son, at Lone Star Steak House. It was the day after valentines, and I totally didn't expect it. Both father and son were all smiles all night, but I just thought they had my valentine's present (I had asked for a motorcycle helmet). At the end of dinner, Jon asked (as he always does) "Have I told you today how much I loved you?" As usual, I said, "Not enough." Then he goes "I can't live without you, will you marry me?". He was teary eyed, and I got teary eyed, then Andrew handed me a red rock he found at school, to match the "rock" his dad got for me. I love it that Andrew was there for our proposal.
Bridal shower/Bachelorette party:
A few co-worker girl friends and I went to "Keys on Main" to enjoy food, drinks and conversation, but nothing close to a traditional shower. They gave me gift cards to spend at Victoria's Secret.

Love your work, especially since it involves pictures of home (slc). I have a quick question for you... I am an event florist and no matter how hard we try we can not take the amazing shots you can, it's an art right? So, is there a proper way to form an alliance with the photographer from the event you did the flowers for so you can showcase your work and theirs at the same time? Would you mind helping me out? Any hints?
Thanks!
