Aschenputtel {a Cinderella Story} ~ part 3 the proposal

that's not a shoe on the pillow...no it is not! it's a RING! I did say before that this all was a charade. Master mind behind it was this sweet prince Taylor who loves this girl so much that he wanted to do something spectacular to show her. So we put our heads together and this is what we came up with...And was she ever surprised too!

of course she said yes...so this turned into an engagement shoot...

Taylor and Veronika's happily ever after to begin on March 9th, 2013...stay tuned!

as we continue our story...and our charade...our Cinderella meets her handsome prince...

but no sooner does she find her true love...then she is headed out the door...leaving behind just a shoe...

here's where our story takes a bit of a twist...

up next...the surprise

Aschenputtel {a Cinderella Story} ~ part 1

The Brothers Grimm tell a much more disturbing rendition of the Cinderella story that most of us know...which is the sugary Disney version which most of us grow up hearing... We long to be that girl who no matter her lot in life, will someday find her handsome prince and ride off to his palace and live happily ever after... So our story begins...with our very own Aschenputtel {Veronika} who unknowingly is being set up...

she so sweetly agreed to be my "model" for a photo shoot that I wanted to do...and she helped to put her German/Austrian spin on the Cinderella story she was more familiar with...and so effortlessly helped to set the stage for me

this story is to be continued...
