The Video in this article is definitely an emotional one. Read the story below of how Lizzy's 'Amen' (Fondly called Lee Boo) proposed to her.
" This month of February makes it 7 years of my dating anniversary with Amen (whom I fondly refer to as Le Boo for social media purposes.. lol). Those of you who know us and have followed my story know that we started dating each other in our teenage years shortly after the car accident. Amen and I are so blessed to have each other and I honestly just cannot thank God enough for how far he has brought us.
As you can read above, the proposal was a surprise to me, and I actually thought I was part of a plan to surprise a friend of mine (Sandra) for HER proposal. Since I'm a photographer, my best friend (Faith) sought my advice on planning the perfect proposal for Sandra. I had questions but each of my question got answers that left me without suspecting this was fowl play.
Over the course of planning the surprise proposal (that we told our friend would be a photoshoot for her - since she's been begging me for one), I would share details of the secret mission I was to embark on with my now fiance (a.k.a Le Boo). Little did I know that him and Faith and Sandra were in on the whole thing. Le Boo actually advised me on the location for where our "photo shoot/Sandra's supposed proposal" should be at, and I went ahead with his suggestion for the Mandalay Canal. It was the perfect spot for what ended up being MY proposal.
Those who know me know that I live for everything wedding, romance, love and photography. This was my zone, and I was excited to be making a friend's day. I was lowkey jealous of how much work my best friend was putting into another person's proposal, and I even made remarks like "When my own time comes, you better make sure you represent!! All I need is HALF of what you're doing for Sandra".
As I type this, I am remembering once again all the perfect lies the bestie told. LOL...DANG, that girl gave me no clues to work with son!! At a point, I remembered having a tiny inkling that this could very well be my proposal, BUT THE SPEED AND PERFECT DREAM KILLING SKILLS that the bestie possessed was nothing next to my "gut feeling". She point blank told me not to set myself up for failure! Also, everything lined up well enough that I was totally convinced Sandra was getting proposed to.
Honestly, I'm so glad everything went as it did. The proposal was a great moment, and I'm sure those of you still reading this are already tired of reading everything I'm typing... SO without further ado, please click on the video to watch our proposal video.
