Congratulations to Katherine Granados and Adam Lane on their recent engagement. Adam, who had arranged a walk on Clearwater Beach, proposed in front of a sand castle created especially for the occasion. A sign with the words "Katherine, will you marry me?" and a bouquet of red roses were waiting for his fiancee-to-be. The event was captured on camera by a friend of the couple, who are planning a May wedding.
