How I proposed

I suppose that many of you may be wondering how I was able to record a proposal video without Christy getting suspicious. I'll explain here:

I had been thinking for several weeks what was the best way to propose. I wanted to come up with something that was meaningful for both of us and if I could capture it on a camera that would be all the better. Both Christy and I are somewhat outdoorsy people, so I thought I taking her to a park would work. I picked the date that I wanted to propose several weeks beforehand (which will probably surprise Christy and her roommates) -- Saturday, March 15. I looked for an ideal park to do it at -- lots of trees and secluded enough to not make either of us uncomfortable as I proposed. As March 15 approached, she suggested that we go to Longwood Gardens that Saturday. I decided that this would be the ideal place because it was a meaningful place to both of us and she suggested it which means that it wouldn't make her suspicious.

The recording it part was a little easier. I had recently bought a new memory card for my camera so I was taking all sorts of pictures and recording videos. Little did she know that by taking all those pictures I was really trying to scope out a good place to set the camera down and record a video. I had recorded several other videos earlier. In fact, when I proposed I was actually making the second video in that place. I watched the first one a few minutes before to make sure that everything looked right.
