how's that for a digital grin?

The sap in me's going, "awwwwwwwwww" while the insensitive part of me's trying to get me to not hit the 'enter' key to post this comment....guess which part won.

I must confess to a little envy here. I've never been in love and I haven't a romantic bone in my entire body. But deep down inside, I really wish I did. (Sounds like a PostSecrets confession, hey?)

I'm with you Michelle...
sweet story...

Great clip, sweet story...

Sweet pictures. Could be a commercial for...what's that diamond company's name?

Walking in the summer rain is so enjoyable! Who needs an umbrella. I love getting soaked!

So sweet. Makes me grin. Alan, the site is very nice. I see why it's called "digital grin."

Romantic and sweet. They will remember that day forever. There is nothing wrong with romantic actions with the one you love. It is HONORABLE!

Only jealous people would find issue with this. Jealous for not thinking of it on their own!

Follow up on all the girly confessions, another confession: I've been trying to kill my inner cheeseball for more than a month now. Trying to have some sort of sabbatical on love. (sabbatical on love - sounds like the title of some cheap romance novel) Clips like this don't help. They're so damn romantic! And the rain! The rain(!) in my opinion is one of the greatest metaphors for almost anything... Great clip, alan.

The universe isn't cooperating. I'm popping this.

I bet the rest of the men here at the Clip are making sure the women don't get to see this and give them ideas

LOL, I let momma skwirl read it and she said it was typical of the stuff I do everyday. (Chest puffs out)

Beautiful Clip. I'm a die hard romantic...I second the awwwwww! My man is a Prince, too! Good for you, Papa Skwirl!
There is a secret romantic in all of us...
Just think, from now on, making love on a rainy day will bring back a "flood" of special memories for this young couple.

Whether parts of the shoot were posed or not...the photography is awesome.

It's just so very beautiful...there is a yearn in your heart when you just look at the pictures...

All u need is Love !!

Alanocu, I do believe you are a romantic.

Love is a many splendored thing.

The one thing about this proposal in my opinion was that it wasn't too over-the-top. The super fabulous proposals on top of the Eifel Tower on Valentines Day often (but not always) leave me rolling my eyes.

It was pretty cool that the photographer was snapping photos of the entire event --- the different emotions of the girl reacting were really great!

The one thing about this proposal in my opinion was that it wasn't too over-the-top.

alanocu, i agree with you totally.
their aloneness (except the photographer) & the rain added more meaning to their feelings...of love.

wonderful!!!

sidegik, loves the rain and would do likewise. maybe on top of Mt. Everest. with all the publicity, alanocu's eyes will roll over and over : )
nay...always for love not publicity. always for love not publicity. always for love not publicity...

Nice until...he finds out she's cheating on him with his best friend and they get a divorce and ruin a couple of kids' lives.

mugofcoffee is back!

I noticed, too. Always good to see his icon. Mug, you are missed.

Or maybe they'll celebrate their 25th and 50th anniversary with their grandkids.

Someone's gonna swoop you up when you least expect it! That's how it happens sometimes!

Oh, the postsecrets just keep getting more and more over the top! It's just hard to read some of them. I wonder if people make up some of that stuff?

Trying to have some sort of sabbatical on love.

There's a few people I know who have that in reverse. It seems like they have too many romance issues (bad and good) and need a sabbatical from love.

Got me there. From, I meant from

Sweet pictures. Could be a commercial for...what's that diamond company's name?

jatfla my best guess for diamond commercials:

Every kiss begins with Kay
Kay Jewelers

but Zales claims to be the diamond store

Hi skwirl & Dorine,
It's nice to be back and be among friends...and Dorine..mug is a she...and I had missed you too...
There seems to be lot of new icons & names..clipmarks is growing leaps and bounds!
Hi alan,
'Or maybe they'll celebrate their 25th and 50th anniversary with their grandkids'
so sweet to take such a nice & positive stand!

Alanocu, you have the sweetest of hearts - but I'm a die-hard realist in that department. As for Postsecrets. I have been moved to tears by some, and have cringed in shame from others. It's truly a mixed bag! Every now an then, though, having waded through much muck, one finds a true gem.

PS/ I too have noticed your absence, Mugofcoffee

“I can't read lips unless they're touching mine.” ..

Mug, thanks for the correction. Sorry, for some reason I thought you were a "he". All this time....sheesh.

syncopath [url=http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t171/alanocu/The kiss animated gif/ththth1144a407.gif]this is for you[/url].

Hi mugofcoffee! It's so nice to see you and have the pleasure of receiving such nice and heartfelt comments.

sorry I messed that up syncopath - this is the closest thing I could find to reading lips: http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t171/alanocu/The%20kiss%20animated%20gif/

10x alanocu it`s kind of you & quite entertaining

BTW in case you get around Boston check if you can read these lips : http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/4374/Events/4374/RhonaMitra_Grani_7313945_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Mitra,%20Rhona

(just finished watching "The Practice" 8th season & except the brilliant performance of James Spader there found many zoom in on Rhona Mitra`s lips )

oh my God, I am coming back to this clip time and again just to see the rain, the romance and the beauty of the whole sweet photography... am getting mellowed down...not a good sign of a strong heart!
