Lyndsey & Chris’s Engagement Story

Here’s another engagement story to enjoy from Lyndsey & Chris!

“The day of our engagement was filled with activities – in Belize. That morning we went snorkeling at Shark-Ray alley where I was the first to jump in and hold a large stingray, basically nose to nose (not that they have noses!). Chris, my fiancé, got to hold an 8st shark in a bear hug. It was a nurse shark that is pretty docile, but when he tells he conveniently leaves out the nurse and docile part….
 
From there we went to eat lunch before our really big adventure. . . skydiving. Five years running a group of professionals go to Belize to skydive for a week and its called “Boogie in Belize.” The day before our scheduled jump, e watched them all come down (safely I might add) at the drop zone, so we thought “OK we can do this.”  We went up to 13,000 and then I watched as he fell away from the plane! Talk about your heart stopping. Then I went and it was amazing. It was really cool because once our shoots were open they got us close enough that we could face one another and talk. Although the only thing either of us could say was, “Babe?” and “I’m Ok.” Our tandem partners were cracking up.
 
After an amazing dinner we went to meet the rest of the group at a bar that is way out on the water.  To get there, you have to walk down a long pier. I was walking in front of him going on and on about how amazing the day had been and how it just couldn’t get any better. Little did I know. He said, “I think I could make it a little bit better.” And when I turned around to make him prove it…he did.
 
He was down on one knee and I just started asking “Wait, now?! We’re getting engaged now?” I was totally surprised. It was everything I wanted, but I didn’t realize I wanted it to happen that way. Pretty awesome. We are getting married October 24 of this year and couldn’t be happier.”
