I found this amazing wedding proposal on The Wedding Planner's Blog. It's truly inspiring and all I have to say is.... WOW!.... read on, then watch the slideshow.

 

 

Below are links to a slideshow and photographs of a proposal an Atlanta man to his girlfriend. Here is what the photographer said.

At the end of April I had the privilege to shoot the engagement of Robert Gray, Jr. and Keisha Williams.

Robert and Keisha met four years ago at a surprise birthday party for a mutual friend. Two months later Keisha received anonymous flowers with a subtle message attached. It was an additional month before Robert revealed himself as her secret admirer. Robert is a native of Atlanta and Keisha hails from LaGrange,
GA.

This past February Robert contacted me to talk about his engagement plans. We met at a Starbucks in Southwest
Atlanta. The meeting lasted nearly an hour because Robert was so excited to tell me all about what he had been planning for a year. The surprise engagement was to take place at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead, Georgia. He even had a name for the the proposal ‘Remember the Ritz’ and an email address!!

Robert had arranged for 10 rooms (on different floors) at the hotel to be reserved. The rooms were to be filled with family and friends reading scriptures, roses that had been laced with gold, and unlimited candles!

On the day of the engagement, I started shooting at 4 PM and ended at 12 AM (8 hours!). There is so much more to explain but I wouldn’t do much justice. My suggestion - pop a bag of popcorn, pull out a box of tissues, and find a comfortable seat. This will be the most elaborate proposal you have ever seen.

Watch the slideshow here!

    My heart overflowed with joy, and my eyes were tears of joy. This was the most touching proposal ever. I would like to see the wedding and reception as well. I know it had to be FABULOUS! I also loved the song playing in the background. I plan to let my fiance hear this so that we can add the song our list for our upcoming wedding 4-4-09.
