My Secret Instagram Project: How I Got Instafamous - 1000th Post Celebration


Recommended Posts

In honor of my 1000th post, I wanted to share this with my VC peeps.
My girlfriend (now fiancee) moved to Milwaukee and I took a picture every day for 98 days until her birthday. On the day I gave her a book with all the compiled pictures, which was really the point all along.
Instagram was a way to post pictures easily and I found a site where I could link my account to make the book.
It ended being featured on Buzzfeed and other sites like that. Totally unexpected but really fun.
Almost went on the Steve Harvey show but they wanted me to propose on television. When I said no they went with someone else but still cool.
Enjoy :)

Why 98? You couldn't find two more shots to throw in the book?

 

(great idea, just thought it was an odd even number).

 

The day I thought of it, I was already down to 99 so I figured I'd just start with 98. Love that question though, 100 would be been just right

 

holy ROMANTIC

 

Thanks!

The best comment I've seen was "Just to get some booty..."

 

you both have nice teeth!

 

Thanks :D

 

I swear a few weeks ago I saw the exact episode they went with instead of you guys because I saw the awkward proposal.

 

aaaaaand that's why I thought it wasn't such a good idea haha

I remember watching a clip of the show where (during the proposal) Steve took the ring out of the guy's hand to show the audience

Very very cute. Wish I could read/know about more stories like this. I'm sure her answer was an easy one to make when you proposed!

 

It was a long time coming as well, glad we didn't go on tv 

 

Congratulations to you two! This was an awesome idea and you've made 98 little memories that she'll remember for the rest of your lives.

 

Thanks, she still tells me when she's reading through her book

 

Congrats!!! What a sweet idea. 

 

Thanks  :)  It was really fun thinking of different locations and words
