On the anniversary of when they first started dating. Markus told Andrea that he wanted to go take a look at the aspens in Hyde Memorial State Park, as the leaves were changing. But it was pretty rare that Markus ever dressed up . So to make sure that they were both going to be dressed up he also set up a dinner at the Bull Ring in Down Town Santa Fe. This seemed to have worked perfectly. They both took up tripods, and their phone cameras so they could do a mini photo shoot before they went to dinner. When they went to their second spot without Andrea noticing Markus set up the tripod and got the ring ready in his back pocket. He even messed up the first video and had to walk backwards up the steps so he could make sure the shot was going to be perfect. With a quick prayer as he was setting up the camera a second time he walked down the steps and told Andrea that he would not want to continue life with any other partner than her. As their eyes filled with tears Markus got on one knee and asked Andrea to marry him. They are very excited to start this new chapter of their lives and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. See you in October!
