Proposal Idea of the Week

by | Nov 28, 2011 | 0 comments

Okay, as one of the original ideas of this blog, I have failed miserably, but I vow to try and keep the flicker of life to it alive. Being the holiday season, and a time of year when many proposals seem to take place. (I know this because I get a lot of calls for summer weddings in January)

So first one this month will be short and sweet. This can happen on Christmas Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, whenever. Heck it can happen on her birthday, if she happens to have a December wedding.

It might work better if you have recently been talking about getting married, if for no other reason than to test the waters, and know you’ll be getting the answer you’re hoping for.

So give her her gift(s), and then share a few moments. Let her think that everything is over and finished, and that’s all she’s getting. THEN, suddenly remember one more gift. You can always add drama by saying you left it in the car, or other room, or just pull it out f your pocket. That gift of course will be an engagement ring.

If family members are present, you could even cue one of them before hand to start playing your favorite song as you pop the question. Surround yourself by as many holiday lights as possible, which always adds another romantic element.

Of course, as your jostling around for “that” gift, you should be making sure your facing her, on bended knee, Good luck gentlemen!

I’m looking forward to some snowfall so I can imagine some creative ways to propose in the snow. I’m already remembering when I used to build igloos as a kid. 🙂

Keeping up…

Weeks have come and gone, and I keep thinking, “Ill blog tomorrow, I’ve got editing to do today!” Suddenly, I can’t even count the number of days since my last entry.

My sincere apologies to all readers and guests who have come during this time, expecting some form of witty, if not philosophical teachings on life, and commentary on the wedding world. I’m trying to learn a balance and keep to a schedule, so I don’t leave you hanging much longer.

I have finished quite a few projects during the past few weeks, and gone on a few trips (which dented my edit time a bit as well.) A short film, a party video, and a travel video, all have been shot and edited within the last month, in addition to four weddings, and my first ever Baptism, this past weekend.

I have a two day shoot this week for a sketch comedy pilot, and then it’s full steam ahead on editing a backlog of weddings. I am about to finish up Linda and Patrick’s video, with Myla and Dan’s close behind.

Daniel & Tho and Tanya & Michael, you are right behind. Jamie & Taylor, Ashley & Josh, then you!

With a wide open December, I plan on using that as my catch up month, and will work diligently to get as many couples their wedding video before the holidays as possible.

Here’s a picture of me working double duty. Uploading on one computer, while editing on another. If anyone knows how to clone yourself, please let me know. Michael Keaton isn’t returning my calls.
