Our Engagement: The Abstract Version

You may have seen this already, but if you haven't yet it is a short video clip that briefly, but succinctly illustrates the events that led up to our engagement. Enjoy!

Our Engagement: The Short Version

Michael proposed to Oresta on the 1st of January, 2010. The deal went down in our apartment in the early afternoon. It involved flowers (tulips), M&M's, a surprised girl and a guy down on one knee holding a ring and asking a question.

She said yes. He was thrilled. Then she was thrilled. In short, we were both thrilled. We drank champagne and ate pizza, distracted occasionally by the shiny new thing on her hand.

It was a very good day. We kept our secret for a few days to soak it all in.

Another Carlsberg Moment....

So I happened to be at the TFC game the other week and I was lucky enough to tape some footage of the Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash promotion - a foot race between 7 women wearing big, white, puffy, flowing wedding dresses. I had to sacrifice getting a beer (a Carlsberg, of course) at halftime to make this recording. Hopefully it was worth it!
