Surprise Engagment Part 1

Typically Maggie and I will get a phone call or an email from a bride after she has some bling on that very important finger. However, we recently actually had the opportunity of helping in the planning of how to pop the question. Its not everyday that we get to help in the planning of popping the question with the exception of planning my proposal to Maggie this was going to be a rare experience. Well, after going back and forth on a few ideas Jonathan (the guy popping the question) decided on creating a photo album.
Okay, lets step back a minute and explain why this idea was so perfect for them. Well, his soon to be fiancé Beth, every year makes him a photo album of everything they have done together for the year. How cool is that? So, the plan was that Jonathan was going to have all the moments prior to asking Beth to marry him photographed and put into a photo album with the last page being...you guessed it. Will you marry me!! But there was another twist we were not going to take a picture of the actual ring at all so that it would be a surprise after she finished looking through the album. So, check out a sneak peak of Jonathan getting ready for the big moment.



Beth is going to be presented with a beautifully custom designed ring and we had the privilege of going with Jonathan when he went to pick it up.

You have to show the siblings the bling. Here is Jonathan showing Beth's brother and sister-in-law the beautiful ring!

Our first PUG hosting.

Wednesday night the 25th of FEB we hosted our first PUG meeting. If you have been following the blog, em hum--- you should be :) we have been getting ready for this awesome occasion.
We had a few people as you can see from the photos below.

All in all it was a great thing to prepare for it, which forced us to get some things around the house done that needed to get done, which totally worked out for not only our benefit but our guests too. We had Connecticut's finest photographers (and some joining states as well) all piled together in out home to have a blast, Justin and Mary decided to theme the night in honor of the Oscars. People brought some awesome Oscar themed food, such as Frosted Nixon cupcakes, The Dark Chocolate Night Hershey kisses. It was Awesome.

Every month there is a PUG meeting and it revolves to different members homes or studios and there is a guest speaker that does a presentation on either business or personal item. This month it we had the pleasure to have the legendary one and only Robert Norman, his presentation was how he got his start in this business and how he continues to market himself. He will also be revealing some info on his newly launched PHODcasts, which are taking iTunes by storm!

Everyone was very close with each other and maybe even a little personal ;) but you can see how Justin and Mary Marantz began the night as we all sat quietly and listened, yea right, but we did listen and laugh, we laughed a lot that night my cheeks are still sore.

Here is Robert giving his presentation as David Apuzzo and myself look on in awww. Especially when the slide came up about Satan being a Lesbian, oh my...... That was some funny stuff.

Can't wait till next month :)
