Portland Oregon Wedding Photos | Christine and Mike

May 11, 2013 was supposed to be an ordinary day, just like any other Saturday. Christine had things to do, Mike had things to do, maybe we would catch up after a busy day over dinner. But then Christine’s lunch plans fell apart and Mike’s work event was going along swimmingly without him (suspicious, right?). Mike suggested we grab lunch together. He drove the car in a few circles, and finally parked. As we were about to cross the street at NW 21st and Flanders, Mike got down on one knee and proposed. He was aided by a small notecard with some carefully worded phrases, but mostly he went off-book in recalling this as the site of the first kiss and asking if Christine would be his wife. She said yes– much to the relief of Mike, the covert photographer snapping away across the street, and their friends gathering at the pub up the street.
