Are You Serious!

 

Exactly one year ago I filmed my entire engagement without even realizing.
We had a day off work, so I decided I wanted to take Brad to the Great Salt Lake (one of my favorite places) to have a little photo date. We snapped some pictures, and later got invited on a sailboat ride from a stranger (Lance) and of course we said yes! We sailed out to the most beautiful December sunset… And me being me, I had my camera out filming the whole thing. I showed the lady on the boat how to use my camera, because I wanted to get a cute shot of Brad and I together. I was so confused when he wouldn’t come sit by me – he started kneeling in the bottom of the boat. My stomach flipped upside down when he then said, “Haiz, I actually know Lance already..” I got this freaked out, vulnerable feeling and didn’t quite know what to think! Similar to the feeling I had when I found out Santa wasn’t real – it got really awkward. Then he opened up the side of my grandpas vintage camera (that we had used as a photo prop earlier) to reveal my ring tied to the gears with a cute little white bow. And what did I say?
“Are you serious!?”
Still to this day, I’m weirded out how he surprised me so well.

    You and Brad are so adorable, and I feel stalkerish. I seriously fell in love with you two the moment I watched this video. As I've watched your videos I've noticed that you have been using two types of cameras; the canon and another one. What kind is the other camera, if you don't mine me asking?

      The other camera in this video is my iPhone 4, ha! But in other videos we use the GoPro Hero. πŸ™‚ Thanks for your kind words! xo
