Aaron + Loraine {Engagement} | Port of Spain, Trinidad

We did this e-session with Aaron and Loraine a while (in wedding time) ago, just getting around to posting it.

You will observe the green box. Now there is a romantic story connected to the green box, however we don’t want to mess it up by telling it ourselves so we’re going to let either Aaron or Loraine comment with the story below and if they do we’ll update the post.

All we can say is the box is functional as well

*UPDATE*

Loraine read my post and sent the story!!! Here its is;

The green box -

“ Hi A !” I would excitedly greet him, peering up at him as if looking at the sky.
“Hi Lo!” He would lovingly return looking way down at me.

HiLO- No, not the grocery store, and hopefully not because I am about 1.5ft. LO-wer than him, I like to think it is because the first 2 letters of my name just happen to be LO.
One of the quirks of my finance is that he would ever so often engage in what he calls ‘mischief’. ‘Mischief’ means that he’s found himself some little project that he will hide like a national military secret until his ‘invention’ or ‘Igor’ if you will, is complete. The first trinket he ever brought home, happened to be this green box…later on he would lug home a host of other trinkets including PVC attached to a funnel, an abstract gate etc. I consider myself lucky, his every invention fascinates me.
I remember him grinning ear to ear as he presented me with this first gift. It sparkled green with a red ribbon and I liked that it could open and store things inside; I did not know what I’d put inside…but it was exciting all the same. Then he asked me to stand on it. Sure enough, when I did, I stood 6’3 ft. tall just like him. This was great ! I could see him at eye level; hugs were right around the neck and pecks no longer landed just above his elbow! We laughed with delight; I enjoy this whimsical gift and appreciate how much thought went into it.
The green box continues to be a part of our lives, hopefully for a long time. The other day I used it to determine at what height to place a mirror to make it usable to him. As time passes by we know that A’s green box will be there to assist us and even littler versions of us to sit, reach a sink, or hide a favorite toy.

Thanks Loraine!

The colours of this session were so nice we had a hard time turning anything BW but I think the choices fit.
