She said "YES!!!"
Canada, Round 2…
Rockie Mountains…
14th July, 2009
Pyramid Lake, at the foot of Pyramid Mountain.
Down on 1 knee…
...
...she said “Yes!”
I fell in love with a beautiful girl nearly 3 years ago and I fell in love with the Rockie Mountains last year. Things couldn’t be more perfect for me right now.
Claire and I are back from our second trip together in Canada and we couldn’t wait to share the news. I know for certain that Claire was jumping for joy the following day and I hope that all my friends out there in bubble land will be just as happy for us… :-)
Could this be the first Redbubble wedding?
Anyone know a good photographer?
One last thing…
I love you Claire and Thankyou!

Rhana Griffin
Oh puhleeeeze! In what strange parallel universe that we can’t even imagine exists was there any possibility at all that Claire would say no? You are a catch and a half Paul, and from what you tell me so is your Claire so it is a match made in heaven. All the very best to you both as you embark on this exciting adventure in life. xxxx

Well, I’ll tell you now, I must have been pacing up and down in that parallel universe prior to asking!

Ian James
Great news Paul I am really pleased for both of you. I look forward to see the Bob Book. I have just finished and uploaded mine it only took a year and 2 months. I have shot a few weddings. At the moment I am in the process of editing pictures for my sister inlaws wedding. Its certainly an experience doing it. I am sure it would get easier with experience.
I know exactly how you feel. I proposed while away in America and all I could think about before I poped the question when and where I would do it. I finally did it on deserted beach at sun set it was perfect accept for loosing the ring in the sand.
All the best.
So any plans for when and where you are going to get married?
Paul Tupman replied
Cheers Ian! I remember you saying before that you had proposed whilst in the states and I know what you mean about the lead up to it… it’s all that you can think of!
I hope the book comes out well and makes it to Book of the Month again so that we can all see it! I may have enough material for my 2nd book now!
