Even though Rich PierreLouis is our second Fiance of the Month, his photo shoot was actually the first one that we shot. It was done last Fall at our friend’s house in Studio City and we brought along a camera crew (our friends) to document it.
So, here’s what went down:
Special thanks to our cast and crew that helped us out for the day:
Rich PierreLouis, Randa Walker, Tom Becker, Rhett Swanson, Jen Glaser, Matt Taylor, Brian Jun, Julian Doan, Jay Plemons, Chelsea Reda and Mike Costantini
Today’s proposal is written by Shannon & Tia:

Brianna worked at an accounting firm and had been dating her boss Simon for a year. Even though co-workers knew they were a couple, Brianna and Simaon were pretty good at keeping their relationship separate from their work.
One afternoon, Brianna was called into Simon’s office. This was normal. Usually when she was called in, it was to discuss a client’s account or to brainstorm a strategy for making and/or saving money.
But today when Brianna walked in, she could sense something was different.
“Have a seat,” Simon said nervously.
“Okay,” Brianna said.
She sat down across from Simon.
He let out a long sigh.
“Is something wrong, Simon?” Brianna asked.
“Well, yes… and no,” he replied.
She waited for him to continue.
“You haven’t done anything wrong. It’s just that… well, we have to let you go.”
“What?” Brianna asked.
She was shocked. Out of all the things Simon could have been discussing with her, this was the last one she expected.
“Unfortunately, the company is downsizing and I was told that I had to let you go. You’re a great worker, but you’ve been here less than anyone else.”
“How can you be saying this right now?” She demanded.
“Trust me, you are the last person I want to be saying this to… I love you.”
Brianna just shook her head. Simon got up to comfort her, but she refused his touch.
“There is a severance package.”
“Oh, yeah? Great,” she said sarcastically.
“You’ll get two months salary and this…”
He got down on his knee and produced a box.
Brianna thought she had been shocked before, but this was the icing on the cake.
“Will you be my wife?”
It took her a minute to process everything that was happening. She opened the box and saw a gorgeous ring.
She was so confused but when their eyes met, she only saw love. She touched his cheek tenderly.
“I don’t understand. This firing, was it all a joke just so you could propose to me?” She asked, calming down.
“No, Brianna. I’m sorry, but that wasn’t a joke. You’re still fired.”
Should Brianna accept his ring? What do you think?

Amy Grant & Vince Gill
Grant & Gill
Ten years ago today, Christian/Pop star Amy Grant married Country music idol, Vince Gill.
Friends since 1993, when both were married to other people, the two got romantic after separating with their spouses.
Their private ceremony was held outdoors in Williamson County, Tennessee, with 75 guests in attendance. Grant went barefoot and wore a long, cream-colored dress and flowers in her hair. Their children from their previous marriages were also involved in the ceremony (Grant had three, Gill with one.)
A year later, they added to their brood when Grant gave birth to a daughter, Corrina. The musical couple resides in Nashville with their blended family.
“She’s really easy to love,” Gill told Ladies Home Journal in 2006. “ I got lucky. Real lucky.”
Congratulations to ten years of wedded bliss!
