In all honesty, I used to want to be a wedding planner, but then I started watching Bridezillas with my mom a couple of years ago, worked at a floral shop in college and realized that being a wedding planner would mean giving up a lot of Saturdays if I was successful at my job...Hmmmm, might have to give that career a second thought.
However, this week I think I found my career as a videographer (with a flip) and proposal planner. My friend SG and her boyfriend, now fiance, CN have been dating for about 3 years. CN and I went to lunch a couple of weeks ago to discuss the proposal and throw around some ideas. He mentioned wanting to do it at school, and I told him he needed to do it before break so she could have ample time to get started on some planning. He took that advice. The next week was spent trading emails back and forth about proposal ideas. Finally, we found out that her second hour class was the most fun and would be the one to come to. I told SG last week that I would be coming to class today which is not out of the ordinary, I am unemployed and have some extra time. I brought donuts. SG had assignments for the kids to complete, much to our dismay, but after a little coaching from SF, one of SG's teacher friends, we were able to talk some of the 7th grade girls into whining for a few minutes of Heads Up 7 Up, a favorite game of many people our age. SG agreed and told them they could play for the last ten minutes, this was then relayed to CN via text.
During the last ten minutes of class, the game started, and SG finally agreed to play and put her head down. We motioned CN to come in the room, which he did and the rest is history and shown on the video. Thank goodness for the Flip and for CN letting be there to witness and video the event!
