She Picked The Camera

Since it's so close to our wedding day I figured I had to share this story since it will make more sense as to why I was SOOOO shocked when I was proposed to.  So it was back in the middle of 09' when me and Ben first looked at engagement rings. He didn't want to blindly pick out a ring and have me not like it. So we looked at rings and of course I feel in love with a ring - not the one I got- one smaller.  So a few months pass and we were at our local camera store (Mike Carvellos- love ya Jerry) and I held in my hands the new Canon 5D Mark II! OMG! It was love at first site all over again!  I had to have it!!!!! I have been reading about this camera and my favorite photographers in California have this camera! Could it really be all that it's talked up to be?  It's got to be for the price! :) Ben asked me right then and there - the ring or the camera?  He said whatever my choice is he doesn't want any regrets later and he doesn't want to hear that I wanted the other one over the other one later!  I said without a minutes wait- "The CAMERA!" I thought -I already have him and he's not going anywhere so YES the camera! So yes I did choose the Camera over the ring!  I really did!  Ben surprised me with the camera the first week of November!  I was soooo shocked and sooo surprised!  I was pumped to use that baby. 

Now the rest of the story- the ring- so we talked about getting married and since I chose the camera I really didn't have a problem getting married without a rock on my finger - because I knew someday i'd get that too. :) 

Turns out the boy of magic up his sleeve and hidden funds surprised me with a proposal and a RING!  Yes I was completely shocked and didn't expect it.  So I am thrilled that the girl that picked the camera over the ring truely has it all- the camera, the ring and the man of her dreams!
