Meet The Wedding Pro - Erin at Gambles Photography

Proposals don’t just happen—they’re designed, rehearsed in whispers, and pulled off with split-second timing. We sat down with Erin from Gambles Photography to explore how a great proposal balances a partner’s personality with clean light, camera-friendly angles, and the kind of logistics that keep a surprise actually surprising. From stealthy “hide in the bushes” shots to full cinematic builds with candles, picnics, and rooftop letters, Erin shares the playbook she’s refined across years of yeses.

You’ll hear why the first question isn’t about location, it’s about the human at the center: do they want quiet and private or bold and public? That choice shapes everything—venue scouting at the exact hour for ideal light, choosing the approach path, texting signals that won’t raise suspicion, and even deciding which way to face so the reaction lands in frame. Erin breaks down last-minute saves and big builds alike: a ring that almost vanished into a river, a Belize pier picnic with a rogue kid and a stubborn sea breeze, a Tangled-inspired lantern aisle that flips into a surprise party, and a joyous double proposal in Eureka Springs that turned one plan into two perfect moments.

Along the way, we trade practical tips that make photos shine without killing the magic. Think “nails check” to avoid post-edit marathons, rainy-day contingency plans that still feel romantic, boat logistics when the spot is an island, and the small posing cues that protect the face, the light, and the story. We also talk about the long arc—how a single proposal shoot can lead to engagements, weddings, maternity sessions, and a trusted creative partner who knows your rhythm as a couple.

If you’re dreaming of a destination proposal—or Erin’s bucket-list love-lock bridge in Germany—this conversation will help you shape a moment that feels true, looks beautiful, and survives the unexpected with grace.

We’d love to hear how you’d design your perfect yes.

SPEAKER_03: 0:10

Our goal is to make the way process as famous as possible by providing five minutes. Okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02: 0:24

Well, good morning, listeners, or afternoon, whatever time you're listening to this podcast. We have our guest today to talk about engagement. Um, would you like to introduce yourself and your business?

SPEAKER_01: 0:35

Yeah, so hi. I'm Erin with Gambles Photography, and I always Meg calls them engagement and I call them, I think we're talking about proposals, right?

SPEAKER_02: 0:44

Oh, you're right. I said it wrong.

SPEAKER_01: 0:49

I call them proposals. Um I actually had a proposal company years ago, and I named it I do proposal planning. And then when COVID hit, I decided to roll the business into the photography business and not run two different companies. Gotcha. But yeah, so years and years of experience, and they are they are definitely nerve-wracking and so much fun.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15

That's funny. So, okay, describe the proposal business. What when we're talking about this as a photographer, what what is it that you do?

SPEAKER_01: 1:26

Okay, so there's there's two main ways to do a proposal. And typically it's hey, I'm gonna propose, I'll be at this place, at this time, I want you to secretly shoot it. It's gonna be very low-key. I'm just gonna hit my knee, and then I'll come out of the bushes or wherever I am, and we'll walk around and we'll take portraits. Or there's a full, like a full setup where I will decorate, light the candles, place the things, and so they walk up to this magical little picnic or whatever we did, and I'm still hiding in the bushes, and the person proposes, and I pop out and we do portraits. So it's it's whether I'm like helping plan and decorate, or if I just so happen to be there, but it's all about capturing that that facial expression whenever it finally happens, and like all the portraits while they're still in that blissful moment and so excited. And it's it's so much fun.

SPEAKER_02: 2:36

Do you ever have girls that did not care to have their photo taken?

SPEAKER_01: 2:43

It's one of the questions. So, first off, no one's ever said no. So I've never dealt with that. Okay. So that's good. So whenever, um, whenever the partner is going to propose, there's a lot of questions of are they introverted, are they extroverted? Right. Do they want people there? Do they want this to be very like simple? Do they want something extravagant? And it's kind of a test of how well do you know your partner. Right. And there was one guy, I we were talking about his um soon-to-be fiance, and this was going to be her second engagement. And the first one is she's very introverted, she wanted something very simple, and um her ex-husband had proposed to her at a um a basketball stadium, like on the jumbotron. So thousands of people and everyone watching the game on TV saw it. And of course, she said yes, but she was not happy. She was very embarrassed, hated the entire thing. And so it's like, okay, so we want something very private. Very private, very simple. Right. Yeah. So it's all about it's what what does that person want, not what do you want.

SPEAKER_02: 4:02

Yeah, that makes sense that you wouldn't have had a lot of people that were uncomfortable in the situation because the only reason you're in that situation is because the fiance knows that this is something that they would enjoy and and you know, have fun with. So that doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_01: 4:20

Yeah. Um But I would say most have been pretty private. Sometimes family is there, right? But I haven't had any like middle of the crowd giant well, I guess I've had some silver dollar city proposals. But even though people are rough and by.

SPEAKER_02: 4:38

How many of these have you done?

SPEAKER_01: 4:41

Quite a few. I'll do like three, four, five a year.

SPEAKER_03: 4:46

That's fun. Yeah, that is fun.

SPEAKER_01: 4:48

Yeah. And I've been doing it what year is it? I've been doing it for six or seven years, probably.

SPEAKER_02: 5:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 5:03

Nice.

SPEAKER_02: 5:03

I've had a handful. So have you ever This is an Adam question. I'm surprised.

SPEAKER_00: 5:10

Anybody ever said no? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 5:12

No one has said no. We are we are good there. You're a hundred percent um success rate. Satisfaction and success rate.

unknown: 5:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 5:21

Is it is it bad and dark that I'm disappointed by that?

SPEAKER_03: 5:24

Oh, a little yes.

SPEAKER_00: 5:28

I mean, I hate it, but a no story would be interesting. It would.

SPEAKER_01: 5:34

Yeah. I've had a few that we started the planning process and then came back and we're like, never mind, we broke up. I've had a couple of those. But at least it wasn't the big moment.

SPEAKER_02: 5:46

Right. Yeah. They weren't that far off. Yeah. They both thought they wanted it. They just Yeah. Okay. That's fair.

SPEAKER_00: 5:55

I don't know. I feel like if you're going to the extent of hiring a photographer and putting a bunch of planning in place, you're probably pretty sure.

SPEAKER_02: 6:01

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 6:02

I would hope so. It's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_02: 6:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 6:04

Yeah. You would hope so. Have you ever had anybody throw up on someone?

SPEAKER_01: 6:10

No. Probably the craziest thing is I had someone drop the ring and almost lose it in a river. Oh, jeez. Oh yeah. Actually, that was my very first proposal.

unknown: 6:22

Oh man.

SPEAKER_01: 6:23

And I set up it's this like really cool river that has like it's a rock bottom. And how do you even explain it? There's canals of rock. So like the river is going around these dry little islands of rock.

SPEAKER_04: 6:41

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01: 6:42

And it's very, very cool. So I set up like a quilt and candles and wine and all this stuff. And this being my first proposal, I didn't realize I should probably meet with the guy beforehand or at least ask for a picture to know what they look like. Okay. So I set it all up and I'm hiding. And this guy and two girls wearing like swimwear come out and they're like looking at the quilt. And I'm sitting there going, why did he bring another person? And why is he not dressed up? And this is ridiculous. What is he thinking? And then I see the actual couple come. And I was like, okay. Thank goodness. These are just random people that found my spot. So they're not. No, luckily they did it. Okay. They, I think, figured it out and kind of moved away. And so he comes up, he proposes, he drops the ring, and I mean inches away from landing in a little canal in the river and just being swept away. Oh my God. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 7:52

Did he play did he play it off? Like as a prank?

SPEAKER_01: 7:56

No.

SPEAKER_00: 7:56

Oh, he should have.

SPEAKER_01: 7:58

Oh my god. Oh my god. We're kind of a younger couple. And so he's just nervous and fumbly, and he's like, oh, here you go. Here you go.

SPEAKER_02: 8:10

I mean, that would have turned into a different day.

SPEAKER_01: 8:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 8:13

Altogether. That's bad.

SPEAKER_01: 8:16

So that one, that one was easy.

SPEAKER_02: 8:20

But no one threw up, so that's good. No one, yep, no one's thrown up. And guy, guy and two girls didn't come up and start just like hanging out on the blankets.

SPEAKER_03: 8:29

No. That is so funny. I would have been panicking if I were watching them come up.

SPEAKER_02: 8:34

I know. Do I intervene? Or am I just like, I'm just here to photograph what happens.

SPEAKER_03: 8:41

Right? I'm photographing the guy.

SPEAKER_01: 8:45

What if I do intervene and this is the person and he was best it is me and I just like your best friend that couldn't tell her why not?

SPEAKER_03: 9:01

Oh my god, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_02: 9:03

Oh my gosh. So, okay. So explain the process of how you guys, like you and whoever's proposing, comes up with a plan. Do they usually have a plan or are you helping them?

SPEAKER_01: 9:17

Well, it depends. Sometimes they have an idea. And then um, so now whenever someone has an idea, I will meet with them. If it's a local spot, we will uh meet at the spot around the timing we were thinking so we can see what it looks like. So I have hopefully she's not listening and she's not gonna guess, but I have a proposal coming up in a few weeks that's gonna happen downtown. And we're thinking sunset at a certain intersection. So I'm gonna meet him this week right around 7:30, so we can look at that intersection and be like, okay, the best lighting's over here, and now I know what you look like. And what is what does she look like? Show me some pictures, what is she like? And we just kind of go over a plan and have it have it mostly set in stone. And then um, the day of, and then I always ask, like, can I text you? Do they ever look at your phone? And no, very like, we're good, you can text me. And so then we're texting the day of hey, I've arrived, I'm wearing this, I'm parked here, you're good to go anytime. And so there's just a lot of communication. And there's been a few times where like the girl will know something's up because man, they were on their phone a lot, but I thought they were talking to their mom. I'm like, nope, not their mom.

SPEAKER_02: 10:40

It's me.

unknown: 10:42

Oh funny.

SPEAKER_02: 10:44

I had a question I forgot. So while I'm thinking of that, what like how do they how do these people find you?

SPEAKER_01: 10:52

They find me online, or it's a referral, or who knows. Um, I've actually got so probably the coolest, one of the coolest stories is um I had a bride. They got married, I shot their wedding, and a week later that couple moved to Belize and they opened a little micro hotel. And a year or two later, she emailed me and she said, Hey, it's the off season. I'm gonna fly you down and have you um shoot the hotel and you can stay here for free.

unknown: 11:28

Wow.

SPEAKER_01: 11:29

I'm like, Cool, yeah, I will go to Belize. That sounds great. So I go and I'm shooting the hotel, and like a week before I go, she goes, Hey, this young couple's gonna stay here as well, and he's wanting to propose. And I know you have that company, do you want me to set you up? And I was like, Absolutely. So, yeah, so like just a referral of we're gonna be at the same place, the same time on an island. So his name is Joe, and so we start emailing and we come up with this whole plan of um say, I set up a picnic on a pier on one of the beaches, and she's vegan. So I had to do all the research to find a vegan company and like order the food, set the whole thing up, make it look really cute. And then we had like a message in the bottle kind of thing because they went on a walk afterwards down the beach. And first mafu, and I had my um employee Chloe with me. We went, we traveled together for this. And the first mafu is he sends us what to write, and she uses her beautiful curse of writing. I found a really cool bottle to bring with us, and we we roll it up and she puts it in the bottle, and then it naturally expands. Like we didn't tie a ribbon around it or anything.

unknown: 12:54

Oh no.

SPEAKER_01: 12:55

So then it was stuck, and we used tweezers for like the next two hours that morning, pulling that note out because we weren't gonna find another class bottle. And so we do that, he rewrites it, we tie a string around it so it doesn't expand. And so plan goes on, and so then we are laying on the beach like we're just chilling, and we're watching these two walk up and go down the pier, and oh my goodness, there's a picnic and they're eating, and then this little boy comes up with a fishing rod, and he is going up the pier to fish, sees them, and then just stops halfway and starts fishing. And we're like, is this boy gonna be here the whole time? Or the foreground then, it's gonna be in the foreground of every picture, and then the background of what he's proposing? Like, what do we do? And so we're sitting there just freaking out, and he finally leaves. And it's like a seven-year-old boy, and like, and how do I get him to go away without making this really obvious? Right, but yeah, no, he eventually just tottered away. And then Joe proposes a jade, it's beautiful, it's perfect. The only other thing we had to fight is the crazy beach wind, and she has this like long, beautiful hair. But other than that, like it was great. And then two years later, they got married, and Graham came in and flew me out. So I got to shoot their wedding, and then two years after that, they live in Hawaii, and she's pregnant, so they flew me out, and I did their maternity photos in Hawaii a couple years ago. Wow. And so now it's been two years, so I'm gonna have to touch base with them. I know something's going on. You're like, are you open or talk? Yeah. Baby's ready for some pictures. Let's go back. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02: 15:05

Hopefully they've moved somewhere else cool. I like the uh yeah, the bouncing.

SPEAKER_01: 15:11

Yeah, but he's he's an army doctor or a military doctor, and that's why they move. But I think he's stayed in Hawaii for the next like handful of years. So I think we're going back to Hawaii. But I'm not gonna complain. You're not sad about it? No. He was talking about like all of the options though, and he was like, I could go to Europe. And I was like, I'm gonna vote Europe. Do I get a vote? Let's let's go there. And then he faded online.

SPEAKER_02: 15:40

I mean, you're part of the family at this point, so I do think you have like a small percentage vote. I mean exactly. It's about where the pictures are gonna look the best.

unknown: 15:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 15:50

And we have so many beach pictures, let's go to Europe.

SPEAKER_03: 15:53

Absolutely. That's where you're gonna feel the most inspiration. I think you need to let them know that. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01: 15:59

And you know, like a toddler in Europe, that sounds great.

SPEAKER_03: 16:05

Amazing. Totally.

SPEAKER_02: 16:07

Yeah, well, yeah, I think that all of the couples that are listening today should like when they know that their friends are like headed in that direction, they need to start dropping hints about this fun uh process where they get all the cool photos. Because I mean, before you started this company, not that it was your like first idea, but there weren't anybody around here that you could hire to come and sit in the bushes. Come on, that's like you're you're really taking one for the for the engagement photos. Oh, proposal photos on that one. Because how you know that's kind of a lot to ask someone to just sit in the bushes and yeah, guard a blanket.

SPEAKER_01: 16:52

One of them, yeah, one of them was a he was gonna propose on a boat in the lake. And so he took, he rented a pontoon, and he took me to this little island hours before he drove back to Springfield, picked her up, told her the surprise date, and like brought the pontoon back, me hiding, and like, yeah, how how else am I gonna get over there? Like, I'm not renting a boat. So, yeah, I sat on a little rocky island at Table Rock for hours, brought my laptop, so I got to work a little bit. Wow. But yeah, no, so it I mean, it's handy for a while. That's interesting.

SPEAKER_00: 17:39

It is, it's no joke. I did one one time and he wanted to do it out in the area where it's like family property and they hunt. And it was pouring rain. And so I was like messaging him, and I'm like, dude, he goes, I have to do it today. Because he was in the military, so he was leaving. He said, We have to do it today. I mean, it was literally pouring rain. And I could hear her get out of the car and be like, Why are we doing this? This is ridiculous. I mean, just pouring rain. And she's like, I'm not getting out of the car. Why are we coming out here right now? And then they walk out and he drops down on one knee. Like every proposal photographer's nightmare, gets it back to me. Right. And I'm like 100, 200 yards away, something like that. And then she finally like hugs him and then turns around, and then I walk out of the bushes and she goes, This is the dumbest thing ever. Why did you do this in the rain?

SPEAKER_01: 18:42

Because it's like the notebook. Yeah, that's one of the things we talk about is hey, whenever we're like scoping the spot out, is I'm gonna be here. Her back are yeah, your back needs to be to me whenever you hit your knee so that it's her face I see. And so that's one of the things we go through is you make eye contact with me, you turn around, and you hit your knee.

unknown: 19:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_03: 19:08

That's yeah, yeah. Having someone who like does the code.

SPEAKER_00: 19:11

You clearly know what you're doing. I did that one time, and that was my one and done.

SPEAKER_03: 19:17

Never again.

SPEAKER_02: 19:20

Oh my gosh, that's awesome. But what a fun story as a couple to get to say, like, this photographer like took our proposal pictures and then, you know, our engagement pick photos, and then our wedding photos, and blah blah blah. So yeah, that's really cool.

SPEAKER_03: 19:37

It is cool. You get to just be a part of the documenting the family forever, which is amazing.

SPEAKER_01: 19:42

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03: 19:43

I love that.

SPEAKER_01: 19:45

And like my favorite thing to shoot is like those super emotional moments, like for weddings or for this, or for whatever. And so uh proposals just play into that so perfectly.

SPEAKER_03: 19:56

Yeah. Super emotional. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01: 20:01

Yeah. And then of course there's the moments where the girls don't know it's coming. And so there's always the conversation of how will you get them to dress up? And oh yeah, I tell them we're going on a date or whatever. And I'm like, okay, do they get their nails done? Oh yeah, she always has her nails done. So there was one, it was like early November. We shot it, uh, I think at Bennett Spring. So like beautiful fall leaves, water, and I go up, and the first thing she says is, I have ghost nails. And I was like, What? She's like, My nails are ghosts for Halloween, and he didn't tell me. And I was like, Well, of course he didn't tell you. And so I had to Photoshop her nails and every photo that you could see them.

SPEAKER_03: 20:48

Oh just paint them out like funny. You are a saint. You are a saint. I would be like, that was a part of the moment. It's great. Yeah, no, you love your ghost nails.

SPEAKER_02: 21:00

You've got engaged in October. What what else? I mean, it's perfect. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 21:06

Oh man. Well, I think I love this. And you really, I mean, I've heard of other people doing proposals, but not as a business. Not the way you do. So I think it's pretty awesome. So everyone needs to call you. Yes. Yeah. Yes, they do. Yes, they do.

SPEAKER_02: 21:24

How long, how long ahead of a proposal do you need to plan?

SPEAKER_01: 21:29

I've had people contact me the day before. Oh. We don't get to do the walkthrough, but we have a nice long phone call of okay, let's figure this out. Okay. But yeah. So very much.

SPEAKER_02: 21:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 21:44

And then I've had them where I mean it's months beforehand. So some of my more elaborate ones, I had one where we rented out vampage. So that rooftop bar. Uh-huh. And I brought big, this is before Alpha Lit was around. So I couldn't rent giant letters, but I had these like metal mariny letters. And so I brought those out, set them up on the rooftop, laid out rose petals, laid out so many candles. And then yeah, we're going on a date. He brings her up, walks her out, and it was perfect. And then I had another one where the guy rented out um venue 425. And so they have that like big circle thing up front, you know, where they have ceremonies. So whenever he met with me, he's like, she wants her proposal to feel like tangled. And I was like, okay. So we bought a bunch of paper layups, hung it from that circle, lit the whole thing up with candles and rose petals, and he told her they were going on a wine tasting. And then I don't know how he convinced her to walk into the back door of 425 because the front door wouldn't have worked. So they come into the back door, he walks her down this aisle that we made, proposes to her, and then we run around downtown and take pictures.

unknown: 23:13

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 23:13

And then uh when we came back, um, the staff at 425 had flipped the room and all of her friends and family were there. So then it was their like engagement party. Oh wow. And so all of that happened while we ran around downtown for an hour. So that was by far the most like planning.

SPEAKER_03: 23:33

That's super fun.

SPEAKER_01: 23:34

But it was yeah, I like that incredible.

SPEAKER_03: 23:37

Yeah, absolutely. Aw. Yeah. I I like I like the engagement party afterwards. That I mean, what a fun surprise.

SPEAKER_01: 23:47

That is fun. I still want to do I guess I did have one. I had a surprise wedding where they told the everybody they were just doing an engagement party, and then they walked out and they're like, surprise, we're getting married. And it was very sweet. The only problem is it was a really, really hot July day, so no one dressed up. Yeah. Oh yeah. So there and like, but it was a very like low-key wedding. I think I think she was wearing a blue dress, actually. So very low-key.

SPEAKER_02: 24:21

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01: 24:22

And they were handing out beers and popsicles and like that's hilarious. But it was cool. Like getting their reactions and surprise. And like think of how like that wedding was everything they had wanted, because no one knew and could give an opinion. That's what the surprise was.

SPEAKER_03: 24:44

Oh my god, that's awesome. That's a good way to plan it. I like it.

SPEAKER_02: 24:48

Yeah. Okay. So, Aaron, what is your what is your dream proposal so that our listeners like the call somebody call Aaron if this is if this sounds good to you, because Aaron has a perfect proposal plan. Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 25:05

So I'll just put it out there. I'll shoot anything locally. But I love, I love a destination. I love a destination wedding, a destination proposal. So I actually, you know how you're like middle school and high school and talking to all your girlfriends, and you come up with I'm gonna be proposed to like this.

SPEAKER_02: 25:25

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 25:26

And it's like everything that's magical.

SPEAKER_00: 25:29

Is that is that really a thing?

SPEAKER_01: 25:32

Oh my gosh, yeah. At least for me. And you decide how many babies you're gonna have and like what their names are, and me and Betty Joe and Shauna.

SPEAKER_02: 25:43

Did you name your children Betty Joe and Shauna?

SPEAKER_01: 25:46

No, those were my best friends. But me and Betty Joe, oh man. And good old Strafford coming up with our baby names in our proposal story. I love it. Right? So there is before, like, you know those locks on bridges?

unknown: 26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 26:06

Before that was a thing. There was there's this little like fairy tale town in Germany, and they started it, I think. At least they were known for it. And so they have like this love bridge, and it's where all the lovers come and they they have these inscribed locks, and they lock it on the bridge and throw away the key. That is what I wanted. I wanted to go to this fairy tale city in Germany and propose on this bridge, have a beautiful antique lock inscribed with your names, and then have two keys so that you toss one in the river and then the fake key you make into a necklace.

unknown: 26:41

Nice.

SPEAKER_01: 26:41

And I would say, like, you want to take me to this fairy tale town, I will be so happy, and I will help make I'll help find this antique, beautiful lock, and I will make the perfect jewelry, and it'll be great.

SPEAKER_02: 26:54

So that's what we're looking for. We're looking for somebody who wants to go to this darling town and propose on a bridge with the beautiful lock. Okay, listeners.

SPEAKER_03: 27:06

Make it happen.

SPEAKER_02: 27:07

Make it happen for make it happen for if this if this sounds good to anyone or they have their own idea. I guess we'll let you have your own ideas. How how do they get a hold of you?

SPEAKER_01: 27:21

So my website is gambles photography.com and I have all of my information there. They can call or text or email or Facebook or Instagram. There's so many ways to get a hold of me. Yeah.

Well, have fun uh with your baby today. That's just nice.

SPEAKER_01: 28:05

I was gonna say I haven't heard any screaming. So I think we're doing really well. That I'm impressed. Right? I know. Those the nine-year-old and eleven-year-old boys come in clutch. Yeah, no kidding. So good. Yay! I have one more proposal story that was recent that is like incredible. Okay. Do it. Okay. So I got hired for a um same-sex proposal in Eureka Springs. And they traveled there and they were just gonna have this like sweet little weekend. And we did like the quilt and picnic basket, basket, and then cider and these beautiful wine glasses and all of it. So they're just walking around. They're gonna see that walk past it, and then she's gonna propose, and then tell her that the picnic's for them, and they'll celebrate. But then a tour group comes by, and it's right at the time where I can see her down below, like they're waiting to come up. So I'm texting her, like, wait until the tour group leaves. And they spent a good like 15 minutes right around the picnic area talking about like the springs, the nearest brings in the history and whatnot. So they finally leave and she's like, We're walking now. Like, okay. They walk up, she proposes, it's perfect. And then um, Jade, the other girl, goes, I actually brought a a ring for this weekend too. I was gonna propose as well. A double pressure. A double? Yeah. I was like, What? Well, let's go get your ring. So we take pictures there, we go right back to their hotel room, grab the ring, we go to the top of the basin hotel, and it's all stained glass. And so now the other girl's Caitlin, she knows it's coming, but of course, the surprise is what does the ring look like? And so we shoot that, they both get a ring, and then we run around Eureka's rings and shoot their engagement photos. Like it was so cool and spontaneous. And at this point, I'm like seven months pregnant, and there are so many stairs. Oh, there are Eureka's rings, but it was well, it was well worth it. Sleeping for two days afterwards was so worth it.
