We’re Getting Married!

Let me just begin by saying, this was the most magical moment in my life, and yes, it was a BIG surprise. Max decided to plan a spontaneous snow trip with some friends and family and mentioned that he wanted a snow photo shoot with me since we always took Fall pictures at Apple Hill. I agreed and started planning an outfit not thinking twice about the reason for this trip. Saturday morning we headed out to Lake Tahoe. During the ride a thought popped into my head, "maybe he is planning on proposing today," but I immediately shook off the thought and didn't think about it the rest of the day. Max's brother definitely had a huge role in making me think that nothing was going to happen that day. We arrived at our destinantion, Emerald Bay State Park, and we took a hike down to the lake. We reached the lake and there was a dock heading over the lake, it was a beautiful scenery. Max was like, “oh, let’s go take pictures on the dock, it will look nice.” (Pretending he didn’t have this planned the whole time). We went out to the dock and Max fell behind while I kept walking thinking they were all following behind, little did I know he was getting the ring from our friend that had it the whole time. We posed for out first picture and I look over at Max as he started reaching something out of his back pocket. He pulled out the ring and I was in tears. He gets on his knee and asks me to marry him and of course I said “YES.”
