Lisa and Justin had planned a special trip on the Maryland Scenic Railroad, a historic ride through the mountains of western Maryland. What Lisa didn't realize is that there would be so much more to this trip than the usual sight-seeing and first class dining experience.

They were enjoying the ride when Santa appeared. Next thing Lisa knew Justin was down on one knee to pop the question as Santa pulled a sparkling engagement ring from his sack. An excited (and floored) Lisa gladly accepted this very special proposal and we are pleased to report that plans are in the works for a Spring wedding in 2005.
