The proposal

Last Saturday, Aaron asked Jessica to marry him. Dad came up with the perfect proposal plan. There was a night football game Saturday night, so Aaron got off early and told Jessica they had tickets. They parked over behind north gate and he told her they were meeting some of his frat brothers at the MSC and then were going to tailgate before the game. This was perfect because they had to walk towards the tree to get to the MSC.

The night before I asked Aaron if he would like me to be there to take pictures and he said yes, so I drove up to College Station and got in my place. I found the perfect hiding spot behind a staircase right in front of the tree. It was the perfect spot.

But then all these people started coming up, taking pictures, kids playing in the tree. etc. It was crazy and I was freaking out a little and wanted to yell "get away from the tree"!

Jessica didn't want to go under the tree at first and kept saying no, no, we can't. But then she did.

The couple walking under the tree finally realized what was happening as they saw me taking pictures and got out of the picture. They stood by me and watched everything happen and then clapped and cheered.

They were both so happy all night! Jessica had absolutely no clue so it was a great surprise and Aaron's plan worked out perfectly! I am so glad I could be there to capture the moment for them! That's what I love doing!
