Yes, it's true I'm engaged!!! Thanks to all of you friends who've watched and commented on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/dzgirl15
But here's maybe what you didn't know ... Jordan actually started planning the whole thing back in August with the help of a mutal friend, Jeff Crilley (Thanks Jeff!). Jeff provided us with a contact, Paige Smith, at Good Morning Texas. However, he gave us this contact to help get our business, Surprise! You're Engaged some publicity.
Right away, I started trying to get a hold of Paige so we could do an interview. I must have emailed at least 10 times between August and Oct. 13 - nothing, not one email was returned. It mad me furious! Then, Oct. 8, Jordan calls me and says to call Paige because she had just called and wanted to set up an interview. FINALLY!!!
My mind was totally in "Biz mode" the day of the interview that I had no clue that Jordan was going to "pop the question". That's why you see a very surprised look on my face in the video. After the show I started asking Jordan the following questions:
When did you start planning this? Back in August when we first met with Jeff.
Are you the reason why Paige never emailed me back? yes, everytime you emailed her, she would forward it to me. She didn't get back to you because I asked her not to so we could plan this without word getting out.
When did you get the ring? I went shopping for it two months ago and picked it up 3 days before the show.
Who all knew? Everyone in the studio knew what was going on except for you. The anchors, the other guests, the camera men, everyone. They brought in the celebrity wedding planner, flowers and bridal gowns in just for you.
I couldn't believe his answers. He did VERY GOOD. Not only did I get a ring, but he managed to promote the business in the process, incredible! Plus, and most importantly, Jordan had to get over a fear to make this happen. For those of you who know Jordan, you know that he's not the showy type. He doesn't do on-camera stuff often. In fact, the days leading up to the show he couldn't sleep; he'd wake up at 4a.m. and stay up until work at 8a.m. That's why this proposal means so much.
That's the thing about proposals guys, you have to tailor them to the lady in your life. Think about who she is, what she likes, special moments the two of you have shared, things like that. Then plan a proposal. Spur-of-the-moment type of proposals should not be an option. If you need help, call on us Surprise! You're Engaged and we can help plan and videotape the whole thing.
Now, that I'm engaged I know what my clients feel like and how special that time is. The best part, I have the moment on DVD and it's now my most prized possession. I'll never forget this moment. Thank you so much Jordan for picking me!
Love is in the air, SO TAKE IT IN!!!
