Who would have thought that the penguin is one of the most romantic types of animals? There’s a particular type of the arctic bird that, in order to propose to the penguin he wants as his life mate, will scour the beach in search of the perfect pebble. Round, just the right size, free from imperfections. He presents his pebble to the female of his choosing, and if she accepts, they’re bonded for life.
This was the story Priyanka recounted to Eddie a few weeks ago, something she learned throughout her work at National Geographic. Eddie had already been brainstorming ideas for the perfect way to make Priyanka feel incredibly special, and after hearing this story, he knew exactly what to do. This past Friday, Eddie roused Priyanka early in the morning for a “vet appointment” for their two mini dachshunds, and after a mysterious cancellation on the part of the vet’s office, they decided to take a quick detour to Black Hill Park where they often walk the pups. A park that, coincidentally, has a beach made entirely of pebbles…
Eddie first offered Priyanka a pebble, recalling the story she’d told him the week before.
After a few surprised exclamations, he told her he’s actually found a brighter, more sparkly pebble, and pulled the very Cartier ring she’d been dreaming of from him pocket!
Congratulations, Eddie & Priyanka! Thank you so very, very much for allowing me to photograph such an important moment in your lives!
Happy Tuesday 🙂

Aww that is so sweet! I had heard that about penguins from Good Luck Chuck, but I had no idea if it was a real thing or not.
[…] They’ve been together for a long time. Since high school, in fact- the proverbial “high school sweetheart” story that everyone secretly envies? Yep, they have it. They’re best friends, soul mates, perfectly in-step and crazy in love. There was never really a question of “if” they’d be married, just more of a “when,” and it wasn’t until they saw a wedding being performed at one of their favorite local spots that it occurred to Eddie & Priyanka how very, very much they would like to be married there. So they began to plan- they had a gorgeous venue, a fabulous planner, everything you need for the wedding celebration. There was just one small detail that still needed to be worked out- the proposal itself. […]
