The scene was set. I was the orchestrator of the surprise but I think I was more nervous than he was. To explain away my presence on their afternoon date I was playing the role of hired product photographer for the gorgeous custom cake shop Dolcezza Custom Cakes in downtown Brampton. I put on my best acting skills and the action begins as an adorable young couple enter the shop. She is the only one who does not know that she is about to be proposed to. The shop owner, the boyfriend and I have all crafted this moment; he is about the pop the question!!
She sits in the charming shop by the window as he approaches the counter to buy them some cupcakes and tea. The shop owner asks politely if they would mind having their photo taken since she has a photographer in the shop taking promotional images currently, it would be great to have some showing customers too.
Her favorite decadent chocolate cupcake arrives on a pink dish, on top of the cupcake sits an engagement ring. Before we know it he is down on one knee and she says yes!!
After finishing their yummy treat we head out into a misty afternoon for their engagement photo shoot. The day reminded me of a Simon and Garfunkle love song, or a mash up of all the ones about romantic rainy days.
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
