October 2004
I meet Elodie in a dive bar in DC. By a small miracle she is a franco-american mutt, much like myself. She agrees to see me a month later in NY, where she was living at the time. This is the first picture I took of her. We would then see each other almost every weekend for 9 months before we moved in together. The drive was 248.6 miles every Friday and Sunday night.

Elodie's landlord's dog got into a tin of amphetamines shortly after birth and never quite recovered.

New Years
The next morning it feels like Spring and we all find ourselves laying out on the mall.
Gruyere
This is a photo I took in Gruyere, Switzerland. At the time, I had no idea that I would return to this same place to start preparing for my wedding proposal.

Vic
One of my closest and best friends. This is Victor, who was one of my accomplices for my proposal.
Han
My next accomplice, and long time friend Han, who went undetected as Elodie and I walked right passed him before I popped the question.
Dave
I've known Dave for over 25 or 26 years now. He can be credited with capturing the images of the actual proposal.
