Bling Bling

As you know, we are wedding enthusiasts here at Jeremy Hess Photographers. And ... well ... now that Nicola's engaged, there isn't much time for anything else but even more weddings wedding weddings! Here is her engagement story. Enjoy!

An interview between Amanda and Nicola:

A: So what do we have here?

N: Umm, this would be my bling bling.

A: How 'bout if you tell the folks how David proposed.

N: Well (sigh) ... to make a long story short (for blog purposes) ...

It was June 30th at 10:30 pm. We had just finished dinner, and decided to boulder up HorseTooth Mountain in Fort Collins (Colorado that is).

A: Seriously, is that the real name of the mountain?

N: Yes. So back to my story ...

We got to the top, when we were looking at the city lights and up at the starry, starry sky.

A: Did you see the Big Dipper?

N: As a matter of fact, we did. Back to my story again. So I was telling David that when I see a starry sky, I often ask God to show me a shooting star. Jokingly, I also said, "I even, sometimes, wish upon them." Little did I know, I was setting myself up for my own proposal!! At this point, David took the opportunity and said, "Let's pretend that there is a shooting star in the sky right now. What would you wish for?" I told him "A million dollars," smirked, and then said, "You know what I would wish for!" It kind of got blurry at this point, but I'm pretty sure he pulled out a ring box and said "Would you wish for this?!" I could hardly see it because it was dark outside. Then he asked me the big question (finally after three and a half years!) and I said YES! Then we shone the flashlight on the box so I could see the ring.

A: What was your first reaction when you saw the ring?

N: I was shocked! He exceeded my expectations!

A: Do you know where you will be getting married?

N: Yes, Lily Manor in Mifflin, Pa! We have a date set for next May.

A: ok, one more question. What are you most excited about?

N: It would most definitely have to be the photography! Although I am a little nervous because I'm not used to being on the other side of the camera.

A: Well, we are all very excited for you!

And thats all folks ... Nicola's engagement story!
