Everything had been planned. I took the day off work and set up an elaborate camouflage rig that would allow me to snap away during the special moment. I waited on the beach on Coronado Island for Jesus' text that he was on the beach. The text came... they were at lifeguard stand 2. I waited for them to come strolling down the beach where Jesus would stop perfectly in front of my waiting camera, get on one knee and pledge his commitment to Laura, asking the same from her.
I waited. And waited. I took pictures of the horizon and zoomed in on all of the people, looking for familiar faces, but still- no Jesus and Laura. I waited some more.
About 10 minutes later my phone rang. My hello was greeted by laughter and giddiness- I could come out now and celebrate with them! The only problem was that I missed the whole thing! Apparently when Jesus told me he was at lifeguard stand 2 he expected me to come to them, all the while I was expecting them to come to me! Argh!
We met up and they reenacted the whole thing for me, even down to her throwing a handful of sand at him before saying yes! Here are the photos of Jesus asking Laura to be his wife... for the second time!
The pictures turned out beautiful, and your story had me cracking up!
