kimmyb's Chocolate wedding

We live in Stoney Creek, Ontario now but at the time of the proposal we were living in British Columbia and were travelling to Newfoundland for Christmas to visit my family. Along the way we stopped in Ottawa for two days and decided to stay at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier next to the Parliament building. After dinner we decided to take a walk around the Parliament buildings to check out the display of Christmas lights. We walked all around the property and it was beautiful. We were taking lots of photos when Sam decided he wanted to go down by the water (the canal). So we went down the steps and started walking along the water and as we got just under the bridge thats when Sam proposed. There was no one around so it was nice and private. I was so excited and of course said YES!!!

In answer to your question....we had the camera with us as we were out looking at the scenery and right after he proposed (and when I stopped crying) we set the timer on the camera and took the picture.
