A surprise Proposal!!!
Well, like another post, this would have been about a friend of mine, Melissa a wedding planner from http://eventsonabudget.com/ who did a surprise birthday party for her Mom. Melissa suspected something was just different about her boyfriend Mark. Well Mark had something special planned, he let us know as soon as he walked in that he wanted us to mic him(we were video taping too) because he had a poem he would read... But I knew right away what he was going to do, or so I hoped that I was right.
Well Mark had Melissa join him on the dance floor and asked that the DJ play a song in honor of her since she had worked so hard to get her Mom's birthday planned. She's an awesome planenr by the way. Well the first song went by and they danced and then a 2nd song went by and they danced, by the 3rd song people sat down, confused of course. Melissa even looked over at me with this wierd face, hoping that I could give her insight as to what was happening, but I was just as confused and hoping that he would do something special after all this. Then another song, yes 4 songs, at this point people started dancing, the song was by marc anthony and was the longest 5 minutes I have ever experienced for some reason.
Mark then turns to me and asks for the Dj's Mic. He gets on one knee, and Melissa just drops to the floor, squatting/kneeling with him, bawling. I cried too. And also shot away as much as I could. I am SOOOO happy for them, and of course she said yes. I hope to put up a video clip soon of the proposal because it was just so special. I feel as if I have known Mark all my life, but I just finally met him on Sunday.
So I encourage you to see the following pics and post your comments below, or email Melissa and tell her Congratulations, I'm sure she won't mind. I hope I get to shoot their wedding. I'm sure its going to be AWESOME.
Well here are the photos. (by the way there were butterflies all over the room, there was a wedding the night before and they did a butterfly release and the butterflies just stayed there, it was definitly a symbol of a new beginning!!!)

I'm am so very happy for Melissa and Marc. It was such a beautiful moment and i'm very happy that i was able to share in it that night.

Congratulations Aunty Melissa!!!
We are so happy for you, I read this blog while at work and could not help the tears, you guys look soooo beautiful,I look forward to seeing you guys next year! :) Linda
What can I say!!! I am speechless!!! What a night! It was true a Blessing from GOD! I am rambling on right now because that is how I feel. I can think of no words to express my experience or the feeling of that night. It was spectacular, better than a fairytale! It was a blessing to be able to celebrate my mom’s 50th birthday & honor her for being such a wonderful mom. It was extra special because I had family travel from far to be there. But to be proposed on such a special night by the man of my dreams is more than I ever imagined! Melissa Perez (www.simplycaptiving.com) & Javier (her husband) were amazing! They are not only super talented but they are also wonderful people who both Marc & are I both blessed to know! I am soooo excited they were there to capture this moment & also share in our joy! I thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!
p.s. I would choose no one else to shoot our wedding! As soon as we finalize our date you are 1st on our list to call!
Congradulations Melissa & Mark. I knew from the moment I met you both that you were meant to be. There was always this special glow around you two. You both looked very happy, and I knew it was just a matter of time. It's a match made in heaven. I'm so happy that you both have found soul mates in each other. I wish I had been there to witness it in person, but the pictures bring it to life for me. Your love shines right through them. I can't wait for the wedding. Make sure you invite me. This is one wedding I don't want to miss!
Your an inspiration to many and you both are so loving and have so much to give to so many people. That is why I know God will bless you with a beautiful marriage filled with joy and happiness, and maybe even a couple of kids.
Love always,
Denise Alacan
