Shlomo’s Wedding Proposal to Aviva: December 22, 2019
Well this was an idea dreamed up like in a movie. It involves many characters, multiple plot-lines, bait, a ruse, and finally the hero prevails.
Characters involved
Groom: Shlomo
Bride-to-be: Aviva
Aviva’s friend: Elkah
Aviva’s sister: Yona
Shlomo’s friend: Shira
Photographer: Jonni
Goes something like this…
Aviva drops Shlomo at the airport at 8 AM Sunday morning. She then hooks up with her friend, Elkah, who is getting married next year. Elkah has a fake appointment with me, Jonni the photographer, to discuss her wedding to Menachem next year, and Aviva is just coming along for fun. Meanwhile, Shlomo‘s friend Shira and Aviva‘s sister Yona pick up Shlomo from the airport and they come to my studio where we block out the scene. Once we have everything figured out, Elkah and Aviva show up to my studio to discuss the upcoming wedding: Yona and Shira hide in my house, Shlomo is in the alley. I say to Elkah, let’s go back into the alley behind my studio and I can get some pictures of you and you can see how things look, and I ask Aviva if she would substitute for Elkah’s husband to be, Menachem. So we head out into the alley behind my studio, to take some photos. Unbeknownst to Aviva, Shlomo is waiting in the alley with a ‘will you marry me’ sign and flowers. Aviva also doesn’t know that her sister, Yona, is in town to witness the whole event. So out back we go, we snap some photos, I managed to get Aviva 3 feet in front of Shlomo facing me with her back to Shlomo, while Shlomo is photobombing the whole thing; Aviva does not know Shlomo is right behind her until I say turn around. From there on, everything just went crazy, tears and laughter. Now that you know the backstory, take a look at the photos. Mazel too, guys.
