Brian had planned it with every detail including a surprise weekend trip to Sedona. Sara thought Brian was just giving her the trip as an early Christmas present; little did she know what was in store!  The ring was custom ordered and had taken Brian 4 months to pick out and it arrived just the day before! Nobody except Sara’s mom, Franya knew the plan so it could be a complete surprise to Sara. (Not even Sara or Brian’s closest friends knew!)

Brian and Sara were engaged in Red Rock State Park just outside Sedona, Arizona on Saturday, December 19th 2015. The spot was perfect; right in the middle of a bridge over the Oak Creek river. Just prior, Sara had said: “Isn’t this place just magical!”

After Brian got down on one knee and asked, Sara and Brian’s new engagement was blessed by a herd of wild deer just crossing their path just 20 feet away! (No Brian did not pay for them in carrots)

Brian and Sara spent the rest of the afternoon at L’auberge Sedona having hot chocolate and cookies before calling their entire family and friends!
