Once upon a time, Alex and Kate took a walk in the park.
They found a bench where they could sit and talk.
But then, Alex left his seat and got down on one knee.
From his pocket he pulled a box...
The contents of which inspired a kiss!
What a beautiful ring!
There's quite a story behind this ring.
The stone has traveled around the world from war-torn Afghanistan.
And the secrets kept regarding the setting of this stone into a woven white gold band formed a conspiracy of gargantuan proportions!
"Hey- there's Mom and her camera!"
Alex purchased this Sri Lankan Sapphire from a gem dealer in Kandahar before he'd even met Kate, knowing, however, that it would someday adorn the hand of his bride. 
Walking on air.
The future Mr. and Mrs. Alex Minarik

Oh my goodness! My mo emailed this to me and im crying! MY cousins are wondering whats going on. I wish Kate and Alex the best of luck and our whole family is VERY excited for them! This could convince my mom that i do need a nice camera. Hehe. Well, myself and the family wish them the best of luck, and congrats to Alex, as he's getting a very wonderful and beautiful wife.

I can't believe you caught it all on film. Those are some powerful photos, dear cousin! I'm so excited for them:):):)
Just for the record, Alex invited me to be there with the camera. He and I scouted the park the day before the proposal to find the perfect spot. Kate had no idea I was sitting across the creek from them- he had her attention firmly fixed on what he was saying!
WOW!!!!
Congratulations, Kate! And what a beautiful ring!
:D
Congratulations Kate!

Love, Brenda for all the Lupinos
