Well, another Monday! They just never seem to go away! HOWEVER, we do have a precious precious couple to share with you today to hopefully make this monday a little better!
Angela and Kris are the perfect match! They both have personalities that are out of this world which made their shoot extra fun! We went to Brayberry Farm in Dover, AR. A lot of people don't realize that Brayberry is actually a Donkey Farm... miniature donkey's at that! And they are absolutely adorable! Angela, especially, was surprised when a donkey started braying... you just can't help but laugh!
Anyways, enough about the Donkey, more about Angela and Kris! I asked Angela to send us their 'love story'... you know, how them met, how he proposed, all that gushy stuff and this is what she sent:
First I must share a little background, Kris asked permission to date me by my father to date me two and a half years ago. Kris and I have spent many hours watching shooting stars, talking, and sharing what we want in life. Mount Nebo is where Kris and I fell in love, it is where our life together began, and it is forever dear in our hearts.
Now to start the story, Kris had invited me to go to Mount Nebo with him to have a picnic. I had just found a perfect picinic blanket the weekend before and I was ecstatic to go on a picinic to somewhere so dear to our hearts! So on that Saturday morning, the sun was shining and a slight breeze was blowing. I could not have planned for better weather! We were off to Mount Nebo with a picinic packed full of bread, peanut butter, swiss rolls, oreos, chips, and even the old time glass Dr. Pepper bottles. We spent a couple hours eating, talking, laughing, looking at the clouds, and enjoying one another's company.
There was a hot air balloon festival in Russellville that day and I asked if we could go (of course I was oblivious to the world...). So Kris agreed and seemed overly enthusiastic and began helping pack everything up. He took some of the things to his truck first, but then returned looking a bit nervous. However, I didn't connect the dots because he simply asked, "Angela, I have locked my keys in my truck. Would you please use the spare key you have and go unlock it?" So I obliged and walked up there to unlock the door, still clueless. Once I opened the drivers door, I looked down and noticed a ring and a note that asked if I would marry him. I turned around quickly to find Kris on one knee! I looked at him with hopeful eyes and said "You better not be kidding, that wouldn't be funny! Please tell me this is real!" And then Kris asked me to marry him. I forgot that I had to answer, I was simply jumping up and down and finally responded! It was one of the best moments of my life to be able to commit to the man of my dreams that I want to spend the rest of my life with him! God is so good!!
HOW PRESH, RIGHT?!
Enjoy their engagement session!
They wanted to set up this picnic for some for heir pictures, and of course we loved the idea! However, we didn't know that Angela had a little something up her sleeve for Kris! She gave Kris this memory book of the past few years they had been together! Tons and tons and tons of pictures of their 'story' with each other!
And whats a picnic without Dr. Pepper, right...
And a powder paint war, to top it all off! Every Session ends well with a power paint war!
Happy Monday!
