It was the Vernal Equinox, March 20th 2010, the day of equal length day and night. The beginnings of Spring and the start of a new commitment to our Love. Little did she know that this left hand, the one blocking her face from the photo, would soon have a very special ring on it. A ring that not only signifies the significance of my commitment of marriage but also symbolizes the organic growth of two people who's lives have intertwined.
Even though the day did not go as planned, my intentions of creating a special memory for this important moment eventually came through as we revisited our plans the day after. And since the stressful parts and expectations were in the past, we were able to enjoy the moment more fully and express our true feelings for each other, surrounded by the beautiful natural setting of the Wissahickon Creek near Forbidden Drive. We even made our own little stone monument on the rock cliff on which I proposed, to mark our embarking on life as an engaged couple.
