At sunset, on the most beautiful day (May 20th, 2006), on the most beautiful beach (Laguna Beach, CA), the most amazing man in the world (Jason) made me (Elly) the luckiest woman by asking me to marry him!

We started by finding a secluded part of the beach. Jason had bought an amazing picnic set that I've been wanting, and we were going to have our first and our best picnic ever! We enjoyed wine & cheese as well as the incredible weather and even more unbelievable view.

Jason had brought along his guitar and video camera, which he brings with him everywhere, so I wasn't suspecting anything out of the ordinary. He told me that he wanted to play me a song that he recently learned, and as he started playing, I realized that the lyrics were about us…and the last verse said "Elly will you marry me?" I was speechless and basically couldn't stop crying…I obviously said yes without even caring about the ring…that is until I saw it! It is the most beautiful and thoughtful ring that he designed for me and I am completely in love with it-and him!!!!!

We just wanted to share with you, all of our friends, the exciting news. We will keep you all posted as plans are made and dates are set.

Love, Elly & Jason
