He proposed to her at her nursing school graduation, as a total surprise. He had planned it so all of her family and all of his family were there with them to celebrate.  Of course the families came thinking it would be a graduation celebration and were delighted to celebrate their new engagement as well!

They are excited for their wedding this coming July.  I cannot wait to photograph their big day!
