Sarah stayed with me for Christmas and brought her then boyfriend, Daniel with her. We all knew (or at least assumed) that the reason Daniel came with Sarah was to ask my dad permission to propose to Sarah. That assumption was confirmed when Daniel showed my roommates the ring... Notice I didn't get to see it.
My roommates told when they left for their various locations for Christmas that I HAD to be sure to get pictures of the proposal. I followed Sarah and Daniel around with my camera for days! waiting and waiting...
I also fielded several texts, emails and phone calls from various members of my family asking if it had happened yet...
Finally we decided to take matter into our own hands and arranged for my dad and Daniel to be alone, while Mom, Sarah and I went to try on clothes...
They talked and talked and talked...
Finally Dad came up and asked my mom "8 cows or 9." at which point Sarah turned red and giggle...
Sarah was already in her PJs so I made her change (cuz I was still following them around this my camera and I figured she didn't want this occasion to be memorialized with her in PJs.
We went downstairs and ..... waited.... waited and waited...
Apparently Sarah leaned over to Daniel and said "I think they are waiting on you." at which point he pretend like he was going to go to bed and stood up because of 'crmap' in his leg and finally pulled out the ring and proposed...
All that waiting and stalking with my camera paid off!
There was a lot of giggling going on... and it was not just Sarah. I guess having an audience with a camera while you're proposing can be disconcerting :)
This is my favorite picture of Sarah. She's so red and so cute.
Congratulations Sarah! I'm SO happy for you!!!
