Jon Hopper, Eagle River, Mi. on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 05:05 am:

 
Katriina,

Will you marry me?

 


By Joe Meagher in Neenah on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 07:50 am:

Looks like I get to be the first to wish the happy couple the best of everything from a fellow Yooper.


By Naomi, East Lansing, MI on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 08:13 am:

AWwwwwwwww CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
What a sweet and creative way to pop the question...I wish you both all the happiness in the world! :)


By Grizzly Adams, Hancock, MI on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 08:18 am:

Now, now. I don't think we should be to hasty in congratulating Jon and Katriina. She hasn't said yes yet! :-) (Although my bet is that she will...say yes)


By Alicia, Michigan on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 08:48 am:

Say YES! If he takes you anywhere as nice in the Keweenaw, as that rock outcropping he has to be one of the good guys! Good luck to you both.
Alicia


By Brant, Illinois on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:16 am:

I have my fingers crossed for you Jon. Good luck.


By Dave,Streamwood,Il on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:16 am:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!Wishiing you and your future bride all the best!


By Greta, Milwaukee on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:33 am:

May your relationship be as strong as the rock you lean against, and as interesting/variable as the lake which inspires us all.


By Kailee, MSU East Lansing,MI on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:40 am:

Tell us~ tell us Katriina...Whats your answer~~~~~~~~~ We all have our fingers crossed for ya Jon! Good Luck to you both!
Love and Blessings!


By Aunt Paula, Michigan on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 10:03 am:

Congratulations Jon and Katriina! How exciting! God bless you both.


By Nancy, Massachusetts on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:15 am:

Jon, tell her to look! Hurry, we're all in suspense!


By YWB/ Richmond.yooper wanna be on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:18 am:

They make such a cute couple.


By Delores/Gingellville on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:27 am:

It's about time Jonathan. Just teasing! You waited for the very best, right? Best wishes and love to you both. I hope this doesn't mean another winter visit. I was looking at the aurora b. and almost missed the most important picture.


By Jeff, MN on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:39 am:

I was going to make a silly joke about Katriina and the Waves, but it looks like this happy couple is already "walking on sunshine".


By PJK SWMichigan on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 12:12 pm:

Good Luck Jonathan, I trust that Katriina's answer will be yes----then, Congratulations Jonathan and Katriina:--Best Wishes.


By misplaced yooper, Hartland MI on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 12:53 pm:

You are a brave man...it is easy to tell that you are not married... she will either love you or kill you. Good luck and best wishes.


By Katriina on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 01:24 pm:

of course :)


By Your friends at Still Waters on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 01:53 pm:

Yippee!

By Uncle Bill & Aunt Linda on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 02:20 pm:

I'm glad to see that Katriina said "Of course"...otherwise, Jon would be in BIG trouble! I must admit, though that it's an innovative way to pop the question (unless he pre-empted the Cam Notes and actually asked her last night so that he already knew the answer...). We're looking forward to meeting you, young lady -- hopefully at Christmas, but our airline is threatening bankruptcy... :-(


By Jason & Heather Arnot on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 02:31 pm:

Congratulations guys! We wish you all the best!


By Bill P, Ca. on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 02:38 pm:

Jonathan, you are a very brave man to ask that question with such an audience watching. Now that Katriina has answered I can stop holding my breath. Congratulations and best wishes to you two. Your dad did not deliver the picture of Katriina that you asked him to give to me last summer in Eagle River and I've waited every day knowing that he would send it by e-mail. At last I've seen Katriina!!!

You make a beautiful couple. My only regret is that I won't be able to tease anymore.


By Former Yooper Girl on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 02:47 pm:

Katriina you are a lucky girl....I wish you both the best~
Love ya both!


By Annie, Kansas on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 03:02 pm:

Now you will feel no rain
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now you will know no loneliness
For each of you will be
companionship to the other.
Now you are two persons
But there is only one life between you.
Go now to your dwelling place
to enter into the days of your life together


By Libby Hopper on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 04:17 pm:

Congratulations! :)


By Barbara and Tom, Indiana on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 04:32 pm:

Wonderful way to pop the question, it will undoubtedly be one of the stories you tell the grandkids----looking way into the future here. Congratulations from a couple of Hoosiers who began their married life 40 years ago this coming January, in the U.P. Long and happy lives to both of you.


By Wanda David on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 04:56 pm:

Congratulations! Just not in the winter time.

     Grandma Hopper


Good luck from all of your southern relatives. Let us know when to bring the shot guns out.

By Charlie and Edie in Eagle River on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 05:17 pm:

In case you missed her appearance back in September, Grandma Hopper was the one with the butterfly.

Time to fly
Jonathan and Katriina, along with all these well-wishers, we give our blessings, and trust our Father will always shower you with His.

By Paul Roberts, Hancock, MI on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 07:41 pm:

Congrats Jon and Katriina! Now here's a suggestion. How's about a Pasty Cam wedding...live. I'm sure all those far removed Pasty Cam watchers would love that!


By Matt, Metro Detroit on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 07:51 pm:

I'm all choked up!

CONGRATULATIONS! :-)

I was here this morning when the question was the only thing posted, I just came back. I proposed to my wife while we were students at MTU (Classes of '85, '86). Nothing like this though. Great Idea, and Thanks for sharing it with us!

Charlie:

I trust we'll some pictures when the time comes? :-)


By Fred & Peggy Auburn, Indiana on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 07:56 pm:

Jon and Katriina,

Great news, we are happy for you both. We had a feeling this might happen when we were at Gitche Gumee this summer. May God richly bless as you both seek to follow HIM.


By Mac on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 07:59 pm:

For the sweet....

XOXOXO


By YWB/ Richmond.yooper wanna be on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:04 pm:

Thank you for sharing with all of us. My our Lord keep you in his Blessings. I love what Annie from Kansas wrote. Keep us posted on all the planning. God Bless All! :)


By Dave & Joy, St. Louis on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:10 pm:

John and Katriina,

Congrats! I'm sure there were many Pasty Cam'ers like us that saw the posting this morning, and couldn't wait to get home to see "the answer."

Charlie,

Thanks for sharing. We hit the Pasty Cam first thing every morning to catch a view of home. Over the years now, it has become a regular part of our family routine. Thanks for sharing a very special moment with us. We all got misty eyed here as we scrolled through the messages and got to the "one."

Dave & Joy


By Lisa, North Carolina on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 09:59 pm:

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your creative idea and your joy with us.


By Missy and Ryan, Downstate Michigan on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 10:32 pm:

How wonderful!
My husband and I have been married now for 2 years this December and we were so happy to see such a happy even unfold before us online.
We wish you all the happiness and blessings that the Lord will lead you both.
And remember marriage ALWAYS has its share of ups and downs ... But like the vows say "for better or worse" and just roll with it as it comes and it will all be fine!
Have a Wonderful Life and God Bless!


By P & B Jaeger on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 10:40 pm:

How thrilling!!!! Our congratulations to Jonathan and Katriina! May God bless you and keep you close to Him always. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your future. Please keep us posted! Your part time neighbors in Eagle River, Patty & Brian Jaeger :-)


By Debbie, Livonia on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:00 pm:

What a nice treat to just drop in and see what's going on in the UP........look everynight to see what is happening.........Today is a memorable one! Best of everything.


By Martha on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:30 pm:

Congratulations and best wishes from the former Pasty Central voice!! For a shy guy this was a bold and loving act!


By Charlie at Still Waters on Thursday, November 8, 2001 - 11:41 pm:

Martha! Good to hear from you. We all miss you here in the far north. You wouldn't believe how the pasty orders just keep climbing.

I just looked back at your article from 1999 about Pasty Day. Lot's of memories, so many new faces now. Come see us sometime!


By Dawn Brumm Marmor on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 12:02 am:

Congratulations, guys! Jon, it is hard to picture you and Becky all grown up. In my mind you are frozen as kids at Githche, or at most teens at church. Now here you are practically an old man! From the above comments, sounds like you picked well. So - DID you cheat and ask the night before, or was this a surprise?


By Tim in Oscoda on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 12:38 am:

What a trip to log on early in the morning and see such a posting! Glad to see the answer went well!

Congrats to both of you from all us in the extended Pasty Cam Family!!!


By Alice, Ventura, CA on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 12:43 am:

With all the excitement of the day for Jon and Katriina, we forgot to mention that today's first picture is one spectacular one. So fitting for the day's events! Best wishes to you both!


By Betty - Sun City, AZ on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 12:56 am:

CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you. From what everyone has written about the both of you, you must be special. May our Lord bless you in your new adventure of marriage. Keep Him first in your life and in your marriage and He will bless you.


By Bill P Ca. on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 01:17 am:

At Ruth and my wedding a little old Irish woman came to us and said,"May all your troubles be little ones". We had six - 3 daughters and 3 sons.

Katriina and Jonathan, MAY ALL YOUR TROUBLES BE LITTLE ONES.


By Patti, TN on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 06:50 am:

All the best, Jonathan & Katriina


By Helmi on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 07:51 am:

Every girl dreams of a romantic proposal-

By David S.-Port Charlotte, FL on Friday, November 9, 2001 - 06:35 pm:

Congrats Jon and Katriina. You look like a wonderful, sweet, yooper couple. My wife, Diana, and I have our 5th anniversary coming up this Feb. and we have yet to regret a single day; may you both be as happy as we are. And contrary to all the nonsense television and media, marriage can be the most positive and fulfilling aspect of life. Good luck and always put each other first.
