Noah and Jamie Get Engaged on Half Dome!

Sometimes knowing what’s going to happen and not letting on is almost impossible. I’m sure Noah can attest to that; he’d planned to propose to long-time girl friend, Jamie, when they reached the top of Yosemite’s Half Dome and shared his plan with Michael and me over back yard cigars a few weeks ago. I thought, “How perfectly romantic!”

So when they began the hike earlier this week, I was anxious to learn how it had gone. Of course, she said, “Yes”. And cool guy that he is, Noah captured the moment on video! So world, I give you the just engaged couple, Jamie and Noah!

Congratulations to you both! You’re a wonderful couple and Dawn and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Now that was a classy proposal, climbing to the top of Half Dome to pop the big question, that is too cool!

Happy life to your friends!

I love it when a guy puts thought into how he wants to ask his lady for her hand in marriage like this. They will have that memory forever. It is a good way to start out on their life together. Congratulations to the happy couple!

"You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete." - Keith Sweat

Congratulations!

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. You gave it meaning. Congratulations! May your future be filled with every happiness.

My husband proposed to me in our Cessna on the way to Albuquerque. Everything was so perfect, the sun throwing color across the mountains, we were on the way to visit my parents (they were in on the whole thing it turned out), Manny had us on auto-pilot when he pulled out the ring and asked me to be his wife. I will never forget it!

Congratulations! May your lives be filled with wonderful surprises!

My husband proposed during dinner at the top of the Seattle Space Needle. He didn't get on his knees but it was still very romantic and beautiful. We have been married now 16 happy years. Congratulations to you and many years of joy!

Nice plan Noah! Take her to a place where she dare not say no!

Just kidding. Congratulations to both of you, and kudos to Noah for the sneaky-cool place to pop the question. Long and happy lives together!

To the happy couple, congratulations on your engagement and we wish you all the pleasures that love and marriage bring.

Did he say "I want you on this rock" or "I got you this rock"? Either way, way cool! I never actually saw a proposal before.

Much happiness to you. May there be many more rocks in your future!

Noah, Mom and I could not be happier for both of you. Jamie is a wonderful woman that has had a great influence on you these past years and we couldn't be happier to have her in the family!
You are a hopeless romantic and a remarkable man and I couldn't be prouder of you than I am at this moment.
May you two have a wonderful life together "Wing to Wing and Oar to Oar".
Love,
Mom and Pops

Aw shucks, this is all so beautiful. Happy trails to the two of you!

Congrats!!!

There is proof that romantic guys still exist. I thought they were extinct! Lucky girl, you got one of the rare ones!

June 12 | Unregistered CommenterLinda

Ummm....Let me be the one to ask....Did she say yes?

I realize the vid was shot on top of HalfDome and there was wind, and the audio is what it is in a less than ideal environment, but it is a little tough to make out. I mean, I heard "Will you marry me" and I think she said yes....

One of the funniest comments I've read about the engagement video was actually posted on Jamie's blog. Made me lol so I have to share it with my readers. It's from redhatchet who must know that Noah's a Finn:

Viking: You woman, me Viking, Have Rock.

Woman: Zomg, Zomg, Zomg, Zomg, Zomg.

Viking: Togather we will pillage English villages for all time in the name of Odin.

Woman: Zomg, Zomg, Zomg it's so pretty.

Cracked me up!

You know a guy is serious when he throws his sunglasses like that. And btw, if you watch closely, she says yes, just in a low whisper. They are definitely engaged!

The redhatchet comment is great!!

June 12 | Unregistered CommenterSpidey

Thanks everyone for the warm comments! I did say yes and I had no idea I was on camera. Redhatchet is one of my oldest friends, Oscar. He went to high school with Noah and I. It was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. I can't even put it into words :)
