Operation Snowcone
April 16th, 2008 @ 1:39 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
I always love a good proposal story, and just had to share this one with the hive! What a wedding-filled year it will be for the Daffodil extended family…Mr. D’s cousin recently proposed to his girlfriend on a mountaintop - "Operation Snowcone" they called it - and what an operation it was! Check out their engagement video below…Definitely made me tear up!
PS - In case you are wondering, don’t worry, that is Kool-Aid in the snow, not spray paint!
PPS - Gentlemen, you should definitely videotape your proposals, as that moment is truly priceless!
Congratulations Austin and Jean!!!

OMG, that was sooooooooooooo cute!!!!! I love that she was still wearing her goggles when they kissed. The musical engagement video was adorable! Thanks for sharing it 
how cute!
that was so GREAT! thanks for sharing!
That just made my day!
I’m not usually a fan of proposals that have an audience - not cause they aren’t sweet - but I just wouldn’t have wanted it that way…. but…..
I love the fact that this proposal took the orchestration of all their friends - that they captured it all on video - etc etc - it was very touching!! Great video too!
PLUS - BONUS - they got to celebrate the day by snowboarding
I love that she was so bundled up you couldn’t even see her face, but her body language was so clear! Ack, so cute!
I made my FI promise to not propose with an audience, but this is a perfect exception. Now I definitely wish that we had a mini-documentary of our proposal. After he proposed, he told me all the background stuff he went through and I would love to have it on film!
That was adorable! I was getting butterflies when the camera was going up the lift and saw the words for the proposal!
awesome! I’m a sniffling idiot now… congrats to them!!
awwww~ that was awesome!
Yes, video taping the proposal is a great idea. Whenever I’m feeling down or wedding planning is stressing me out…I play mine and it’s an instant pick-me-up.
So cute! So did she not read the proposal in the snow?
i’m going to pretend i didn’t totally tear up at that.
good job, mr. daffy’s cousin! so yeah, did she see the proposal in the snow?
I love it! So cute!
yep, she totally saw the proposal in the snow…her brother was with her on the lift (he was in on it!) and pointed it out to her!
that was amazing!! i was literally doing the hands-to-the-mouth laugh/cry move. what a lucky woman!
wow, i loved that!!
That was SO adorable! And well executed!
i just read about another cute proposal here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/04/15/bejeweled.proposal.ap/index.html?iref=hpmostpop
I love proposal stories!!
Oh gawsh! I don’t even know those people, I hate skiing and here I am crying in my office. Could I be any more of a sap? That was supremely romantic! What a neat guy!
I totally agree with jilian. I’d hate to be proposed in front of an audience, just because it’s an intimate moment that I’d like to share with just my guy, but I thought it was SUPER cute that their friends were all cheering when she said yes. Too cute!!
And I am seriously grinning like an idiot here too. 
Awww…So sweet!
What movie editing program did your cousin use?
SO cute I love how you cant hear what they said…i think it makes the moment powerful to watch it from afar! Great find!
That’s adorable! What’s the song playing in the background?
that is the cutest and most clever way to propose! congratulations!
Oh wow… I cried. So cute. Thank you so much for sharing.
kristina, the song is “such great heights” by postal service
fran, i’m not sure what editing software they used, but i will find out and let you know!
SO cute! Thanks for sharing
Awwww….this was so cute! I started to tear up and it absolutely just made my day. Thanks for sharing.
fran, they used imovie to do it, and it was their first time editing anything so it is pretty user-friendly!

I am all about personalizing everything and hence, I'm a DIY bride who is just loving the entire wedding planning process!

We've been together for four years now and can't wait to get married in sunny SoCal, Mr. Daffodil's hometown.
okay, I’ll stop sniffling now. That was so lovely!
