This is the Proposal only, the full video is here:

I made this video to play at my wedding reception. About half way through is where the story of the scavenger hunt proposal begins.

Facts:
-Took about 3 months to plan with about 3 people helping.
-The bottle at the end that contained the ring was a whiskey bottle that the prop department at the tv show I work on fixed up to make it look like it's been in the ocean for a long time.
-The whole thing started with me stopping by her house "on the way to work" to say hi. I dropped off "a little gift" for her, which was a miniature letter from the "worlds smallest post office". That letter let her know that she was about to start a scavenger hunt, chauffeured by my friend. http://www.leafcutterdesigns.com/shop/wsps/about.html
-One of the stops was our Junior High School, where our past assistant principal was waiting to read something I wrote (we met in 7th grade).
-She really had no idea, until she saw the ring. Nobody believes this, but there were things that I did that upheld the suspension of disbelief. For instance, we have been known to put each other on scavenger hunts in the past - this one just upped the ante. Also, I was spoiling her with flowers and notes the past couple weeks, because I had been "working a lot" (working on the proposal).
-My friend is a pilot who has a friend who owns a plan. So, the plane didn't break the bank...the hummer rental and driver did.
-The ring was custom designed. She didn't want a diamond ring like everybody else...she didn't know what she wanted. So, I designed it with the help of Tamara McFarland: http://www.mcfarlanddesigns.com/ It's rose gold, with a large Zultanite in the middle (natural color changing gem from Turkey), two Moissanites (lab-created, conflict-free diamonds), and a Ruby on the back (just to represent love).

(We were married July 2, 2011)
