Real Engagement: Katherine & Alex

Congratulations to Katherine Norkin and Alexander Stewart. Katherine and Alex are planning a wedding for August 22, 2009 in Snohomish, Washington.

How Alex proposed...
"I was flying down to California where Alex attends Fresno State to become a wine maker and be with him on my birthday. My birthday morning, Alex tells me we are going to take a trip to the beach. I pack everything and we head out. 3 hours later we arrive in Asilomar and Alex parks the car and tells me to wait. I have no idea what he is doing until he comes back with a room key and says that we are staying at this resort on the beach. I couldn't believe it, it was the most gorgeous place. [The next morning] Alex wakes up and says he heard the sunset there was amazing and he really wants to see it with me. I of course roll over and tell him it's too cold and I am tired. He freaks out a little and says, "no.. come on, it will be fun." After almost 10 mins of pursuading me to get up, I get up and we walk hand in hand down to the beach. We sat in the sand and I still didn't know why to this day that I didn't notice Alex being extremely silent. After the sunrise, we get up and start walking. Alex of course is lagging behind and anytime I looked at him he started to mumble that he loves me with all his heart, and that I am the girl of his dreams and how happy he is to have me. I of course say it all back in return and continue walking. At that moment, he turns to look at me and all at once...I knew. Before he could even ask yet, I start to tear up and he drops to his knee and asks me if I will be his wife..."
