Girls dream about the day a man decides to fully commit their life to them in the shape of a ring.  That special day is filled with several different emotions but most importantly it is filled with happiness.  A girl feels as if she is the luckiest girl on the planet and nothing else matters in that moment.  The photograph I have chosen describes that very memorable day.  The photograph is of a couple at dinner in a restaurant where the man is holding a ring.  The photograph presents more than just two people at dinner; it demonstrates the several different meanings based upon the start of a new future, that are represented by the different elements disguised within the picture.

A special day includes a well thought out plan.  The man in the photograph appears to be the person who set the date up with his plan of a proposal in mind.  The photograph seems to have been taken during the day, which means it could be on a weekend.  The restaurant they are in serves wine, which reveals that it is a more expensive place to eat.  The two appear to be in the late twenties and people at their age usually make an income that is low meaning they can not afford days as costly as this daily.  The bottle of wine represents the romance between the two.  It symbolizes the special event it is.  Their clothing appears to be fancy which supports the idea that this is a special occasion for the couple.   The photograph reveals that they are only on their appetizer when he offers her the ring to his girlfriend, which symbolizes his urgency and anxiety to propose.  The ring comes in a box suggesting that the idea was a surprise to the woman.

For some a ring is a form of wealth and success, but for others it is a promise.  The ring in the photograph is a promise to always trust one another even in the hardest times.  The ring symbolizes a forever between the man and the woman.   Although the ring might be small, it is about the major promise that the man is making to his future wife.  It symbolizes their future together as husband and wife.  It also shows their commitment to one another and their accountability.  Most importantly it reveals the love the two have for one another.  At the end of the day they have one anther and that is the greatest gift of all.

There are several different emotions inscribed in this photograph.  The huge smiles on their faces represent their true happiness. It is obvious that she said yes to his proposal according to the huge smile that crossed her face.  His facial expression presents a feeling of contentment and relief.  He is pleased with his decision to propose and with her response to wed.  The blurred background focuses on the couple and the ring.   It represents the extreme importance of this moment.  It reimbursed the idea that she feels as if she is the luckiest girl in the entire world at that moment.

The photograph is of more than just two people in a restaurant; it is the representation of a significant change in their life, which is presented by the different elements within the picture.  The moment represented in the photograph will be a day to remember for the rest of their lives and a story to tell their loved ones.  The man had strategically planned that special occasion for the woman and it seems to have been a success according to their large smiles on their faces.  Although they are overwhelmed with several emotions, their day is filled with happiness and contentment.  It is only a photograph but it is of her dream finally coming true.
