Marc and Donna had been dating for well over a year, and Marc decided that it was time to take their relationship to the next level. In other words, to "pop the big question." But how to do it? How would he ask Donna in a way that was both romantic and memorable? He put his mind to work and came up with a plan.

While decorating the house for Christmas, Marc hid two XCam2s in the living room behind some of the decorations. He made sure that they were well hidden, but that there was absolutely nothing blocking their view.

On Christmas Eve, he and his sweetie stayed in and watched a movie. After the movie, they planned to each open one present from each other. They dimmed the lights and left on only the tree lights and the decorative lights around the house. Then Marc picked which present Donna was going to open. He handed her a fairly large box. "Donna couldn’t imagine what it was," Marc remembered.

When Donna opened the box, inside there was another smaller box, neatly wrapped in the same paper as the first box. She giggled at Marc’s little joke, and opened that box. Inside that box was another box, also neatly wrapped. So Donna opened that box next. And when she saw the next box she could barely breath. "Her face turned ashen and she couldn’t catch her breath."

Some of you are probably way ahead on this one. The next box was a very small box, but it contained a very expensive diamond engagement ring. Donna broke down into tears. With quivering hands, she put on the ring. That’s right, she put the ring on.

"For the rest of my life I’ll have that moment on video," Marc says. "And that moment is priceless. I’ll live it over and over again as long as I live."
