Well, we didn’t doubt that our recent Walt Disney World vacation would be anything but magical, but this one turned out to be especially so when Mark popped the question!
Before our dinner at Jiko – The Cooking Place at Animal Kingdom Lodge, I (who loves photographing everything and capturing ALL moments) suggested we set the camera timer and take some photos of us in all our happy glory. Mark (who doesn’t usually love having his picture taken) jumped on the opportunity. I thought this was odd but didn’t question it! We took a few photos…
Before, to my complete surprise, Mark dropped to one knee and pulled a gorgeous ring out of his pocket and asked me to marry him!
There’s no way he could have known I would ask that we do photos at this very moment. And there’s no way I could have known he already had the ring in his pocket. This was a truely spontaneous and perfect moment! If you could only see the few moments after this picture was taken; I was a complete mess! It was an overwhelmingly happy and emotional moment, one that put my water-proof mascara to the test!
As if Jiko (I don’t allow myself to bring cameras there so no photos, sorry) wouldn’t have been wonderful enough, the high of being freshly engaged certainly enhanced our experience and will forever be our special “engagement celebration” dinner spot!
