HAWAII

Hawaii is super nice! It was just how I pictured. On Saturday the weather was beautiful and sunny, I found this awesome cove with crashing waves and beautiful views so I proposed to Lindsay!

Here is how it happened:


Walking down the rocks I checked my pocket to make sure the ring was still there.

I was a bit nervous. I grabbed her hand and said my thoughts and heart feelings.
She realized what was happening.
I pulled out a ring pop.
We had a good laugh.
Then I got serious...


and pulled out the real one...
and asked her to marry me.
She said yes! And then this dolphin scooped us from the rocks and we rode him towards a beautiful ocean sunset.
Part of this story is fiction. I leave it to you to decide which part that is.

  6. After I proposed my wife, in Sweden, we rode a mussel toward a low heavy dark grey sky, on the rough Baltic Sea ... not as romantic.
    Congratulations Erik! :)

  9. Congrats, Erik,

    Artists are so lucky, you can draw everything out so vividly.

    I bet the dolphin part was real, wasn't it? The rest was probably just imaginary, was it just you and the dolphin?

    OMG, r u marrying the dolphin?

    Diana-
    Your rumor is no longer just a rumor!

    Stephane-
    You painted a majestic picture! Hilarious!

    Nina-
    The dolphin did make a pass at me, but I knew Lindsay paid it off to test my loyalty to her. I didn't fall for it. In what world would a gorgeous dolphin ever go for a guy like me!

    Randeep-
    Cherry. When I bought it I thought if she doesn't eat it I totally would, but she did.

  17. Oh my!
    this is the most lovely post ever. Congrats to you and Lindsey both. You guys are the coolest pair. I'm so glad i got to sit next to you both at the UP premiere. Usually i find it annoying hanging out with couples. But no with you two, there is this awesome Joy, peace and freshness between you guys : )
    Ok i'm getting too emotional here, possibly over sharing.

  18. I hope the ring-pop isn't the fictional part, because that's classic. In fact, I'm stealing it whenever I propose.
