He is obsessed with this Brazilian dance and incredibly talented at it!! He started teaching me not too long ago so I was really nervous! I actually asked him to do it with a friend of ours who knew the dance more, but he insisted that we do it together. Little did I know that he was going to pop the question! You can watch the whole thing in its magical wonderfulness here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xuIHAF58v8w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It was a complete surprise to me as it&#8217;s not Brazilian tradition to do a big formal marriage proposal, so I didn&#8217;t really expect him to do anything quite like this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kellinicolephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_6047.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kellinicolephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_6047.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6047\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kellinicolephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_6051.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kellinicolephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_6051.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6051\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Brazilian tradition for both the bride and groom-to-be to wear a gold band on the\u00c2\u00a0right hand when you get engaged with the other&#8217;s name inscribed inside.
