After
letting Kristin indulge in all her hippy ways (shopping

and the day was gorgeous...... Chris popped the question
in the most romantic and traditional of ways, catching
Kristin totally by surprise. Of course she said YES!
The tearful happy calls to family and friends immediately
followed and the night ended with a surprise dinner at
