Whimsical Navy and White Wedding Invitations

When Mathew popped the question, simply asking Whitney to marry him wouldn’t do. He planned an elaborate proposal at the couple’s family home on Moosehead Lake in northern Maine, getting both of their families in on the secret. That morning, Whitney’s sister took her to a restaurant to take photos to give to their parents for Christmas. On the way back to the house she blindfolded Whitney and led her down to the dock. “I sat on the end of the dock looking out at Mount Kineo and a computer was in front of me,” Whitney says. “I watched a short video of my best friends saying how much they loved me and wished they could all be there. I got up and turned around to see almost all of my best friends and family members, as well as Mathew’s family, standing on the dock holding pictures of us.” She walked through their families and friends to find Mathew down on one knee. “I said yes and a barbecue and cake cutting followed,” Whitney says. “It was a pure dream.”
