We're getting married!

Casey and Leah both have enjoyed hiking over the four years they have been dating. One of the first hikes they did a few years ago was Indian Head Mtn. in the Catskills. There is a photo that was taken on this hike that sits right near the front door of their apartment that holds a special place in both of their hearts. Casey and Leah had been wanting to schedule a hike during the summer, and one day Casey said "lets just pick a day, go back to Indian Head and make it happen, we can rent a car and just go!" So, that's what they did, "Sept 8th...we're going" Casey declared. They invited a couple that they have gone hiking with in the past, Joe and Clara. They picked up bagels that morning, making sure to get an extra sandwich for lunch. All seemed normal! None of this rang any bells for Leah...at all. The hike up was about two hours to get to the first lookout spot (where the quintessential photo was originally taken). At this point, everyone sat down and ate lunch, revealing in the beautiful view of the mountains. Joe had said on the way there that he had brought his camera to get some use out of it and practice, so Casey asked if he would take some photos for us looking out at the mountains. Casey and Leah head to the front of the lookout and he puts his arm around her, Leah nestling into him as the sun had gone behind the clouds. He then turns to Leah and starts telling her how much he loves her and she stands completely still very unsure of what is going on. He then bends down on one knee with a little black velvet box, opens it and says "will you marry me?" Leah is absolutely shocked and starts crying tears of surprise and joy...but still no answer. Finally Casey says "I uh kind of need an answer" and Leah responds, of course, with "YES!" It was a beautiful, intimate moment overlooking the mountains where is seemed to all begin for the couple. Joy, happiness, excitement and love filled this engagement...and will of course fill the years to come.
