How We Got Engaged: Christine thought we were traveling to Boracay Island, Philippines to produce a marketing video for the White House Beach Resort, but little did she know many on the island were in on the whole set up. A couple of paid actresses, a video guy and a beachside dinner. She had no clue what was coming... She was so serious about producing a nice video. She even went through the rundown with me to make sure I covered all the shots on the list. She had no clue I made them all up. The video guy I hired was recording everything. Our last 'scene' was supposedly at a restaurant by the beach. We were supposed to act out like couples having a romantic dinner by the beach. While we were eating a private singer sang some romantic songs. She was not suspecting anything. She thought this was part of the video. Then the big moment came. I got on bended knee and started professing my love for her. I couldn't hold my emotions any longer. She was very confused. One thing I forgot to mention was that the video was all fake. She said, 'Isn't this too much for the video?' I smiled and said, 'just wait...I have something important to say.' Her mouth quivered as she realized what I was doing. As tears of joy trickled down my face, I asked her to marry me. She said, 'YES!!!' I was so nervous that I started to put the ring on the wrong hand. As if we were still doing the video, she whispered, 'wrong finger.' I immediately put it on the CORRECT finger and we both declared we're engaged.... and so did the rest of the restaurant staff and guests. Cue the roses, wine and the singer for the final songs. Just when she thought it was over, another surprise was waiting for her in our room. When we returned to the room the curtain was swung open and to our surprise the room was filled with the soft light of candles and in the center of the room was a table, 2 chairs and a card. Inside it was a picture of a beautiful ring I kept in a safe here in the US. She was ecstatic. She said, 'Wow, I have two!' :) The rest of the night we were just so happy. It was her dream to be engaged in Boracay and now it finally came true. The best part of it all we have it on tape so we can share our engagement to all our family, friends and 'children'.
