Engaged

Meet David, Michelle…and the jewelry box.  When we met at a local park for their Engagement Photo shoot, they told me they wanted to include this jewelry box in one of the photos because it held sentimental importance to them.

The jewelry box  cover says, “You are My Forever Love.”  It was a gift from David to Michelle on the day he proposed to her.  In fact, it was the jewelry box that provided the words.  The box has an audio feature. It will record your voice and play your personal message whenever the box is opened. David recorded his proposal to Michelle and gave her the box as a gift.  When she opened it…well, I didn’t get the details of that encounter, but the photo above tells you everything you need to know.

There was a moment as we were preparing that he opened the box and the message began to play.  I quickly moved away so I couldn’t hear it.  I don’t know if they cared whether I heard it or not but, to me, it  just seemed too special, to private, a moment for young lovers, for her ears only.
