So many of you feel like family...and I thought I would share an intimate moment that happened last night! Let me preface by telling you that I have been shooting some video on why I want to own My Piece of Maine...for a contest that the Maine Realtors Association is running to promote Maine. I also knew that I wanted to marry Emilie and surprise her with my proposal. For those of you that don't know...we meet in Vegas at WPPI in 2006. Anyway, last night I convinced her that I was going to shoot some video and wanted her in it too...you can watch the rest.

Clever Jason! Congratulations!
One bit of privacy advice, though. I think you should re-edit the version for YouTube and cut out your license plate number. It may make it too easy for a resourceful person to find you and your fiancee if they wanted to. Granted, your contact info is already on the web but so much more information could be discovered by running your plate.
Anyway, I didn't mean to pour water on your big news so enjoy what will surely be a very exciting time for you both!

That is some romance if I have ever seen in it. I love the awkward hand holding and that moment right before you pop the question and she is flustered. So sweet. Wish I was there to photograph it
Congrats man!

THANKS to everyone for your kind comments!!! Lori you are totally right...I feel like I have won something everyday that I spend with EM, I am a lucky man!
Bobbi your so sweet...have to admit that I keep watching it as well, so fun!
DJ...thanks bro! The first part was shot next to the
Lobstah Shack and Higgins is right down the road from where you shot your wedding up here.
$20,000 would help in starting that new life together though: vote often

Dude...thanks Sticky, didn't feel all that clutch in the middle of it! Just so glad it turned out well!
Katie, thanks! I have been thinking for months on how I could pull off documenting the proposal...mainly by photos, but when I was shooting some other video for this competition, bing bing, it occurred to me! Hey to Chris...

Congratulations Jason and Emilie from another Mainer.
I have only looked at the blog post but looking forward to seeing the video a little later on.
I wished i would have known, I could have played tourist on the beach and snapped a few pictures of you guys. I live close by.
Again, congrats,
Bernard
PS: I must be the only one that didn't know about the "Getting a piece of Maine" contest!!! shame on me.
