Sean and Kayla's Fun Engagement Shoot
You never know when
you’ll meet the person who will change your life and become your soulmate. Sean
and I met at the Strawberry Festival in Pinetop, AZ and life changed forever.
It was a weekend of pure luck as Sean was covering for a friend
selling CUTCO knives at the Festival, and unfortunately I had been let go from
my job that weekend and was there with my family. As my mom and I were walking
towards Sean’s booth, and my mom said, “check out that guy, he’s tall!” I eventually gathered up the guts to go talk
to him…or maybe my Mom gave me a little push! I remember joking with my mom telling
her “he could be my souvenir”. Later on,
we walked by again and he waved me over to get my number and ask me on a date.
Before we left the festival, I held up my promise and brought him some
chocolate covered strawberries and he gave me a
penny in the shape of a rose he made with his Cutco scissors.
The
next night, he took me on our first date. He was the first guy who had ever
come to the door to pick me up and brought me flowers; I was swept off my feet
from the very beginning. After two more amazing dates, he moved to North Dakota
for three months and I thought I was never going to see him again. Then he
invited me to North Dakota for the 4th of July weekend and I met his
whole family. That’s the weekend he asked me to officially be his girlfriend.
Twenty months later we
walked up the trail to the site of our first date to watch the sunset. Sean got
down on one knee and proposed to me and we toasted with a bottle of wine and a red
rose that Sean had hid earlier that day.
It was meant to be…how
lucky are we to find our life partner, best friend, and true love due to
changes in work schedules on that fateful day!
