The Engagment

Aurland, Norway October 16th, 2011
 
Aurland, Norway is about a 4 hour drive from Lillehammer, where we are currently living, on the innermost part of the Songefjord. There is a lookout bridge there which was featured on a Design and Architecture blog I read, so I had been bugging Ryan to go there since before we even left the States.  I had just returned from Japan the night before, but when Ryan asked if I wanted to go to the lookout bridge the following morning I jumped at the opportunity... and really didn't think twice about it. 




The drive there was beautiful as we weaved in and out of the mountains, keeping our eyes peeled for moose.




When we got there I was estactic and immediately started taking photos of everything. I was facing off once side of the bridge capturing some shots when I heard Ryan say " You should turn around and take a picture of this." I turned around ready to snap a pic of a beautiful mountain view.. or even a moose. Instead I saw Ryan down on one knee with the ring out. I immediately started screaming.. I don't think he even got to ask his big question for a few minutes. When he finally did of course I said "yes".
