Whew! What a week!
What a weekend!
Karianne is getting married!
You can see the whole thing right here thank you to all the wonders of modern blogology.
In fact our friends and family scattered all over the country could see photos of the "bride and groom to be", a video of the marriage proposal, and express their congratulations and best wishes all within a few hours. It's amazing!
Greg Donovan is the young man who has won her heart. And believe me it was no easy task. We have really come to love him and are grateful that he was able to spend so much time with our family in our home before the "BIG" proposal. He wanted to SURPRISE Karianne with a proposal and knew it would be a difficult stunt to pull off. After visiting with her daddy, and asking officially for 'her hand' in marriage. (Of course Norm was certain that he'd really come for more than just 'her hand':)
Greg involved the whole family and planned a surprise proposal at the finish line of the Salt Lake Marathon where Karianne was running this past weekend. He showed up with roses and a large banner which read "Way to go Karianne" on one side, and "Karianne will you marry me?" on the other.
By the time Karianne crossed the finish line quite a crowd had gathered awaiting the actual event. So it was very fun when Greg got down on one knee to propose and the crowd all cheered and clapped their approval. Of course, she said "yes", which was followed by more cheers. The announcer of the marathon even recognised and announced their engagement as the runners and winners continued to arrive throughout the Gateway plaza in downtown Salt Lake City.
Which begs the next question . . . Can you plan an entire wedding online? LOL sort of . . .
