South Carolina, August 2024

Our dear friends Grace and Jay (who were the reason we moved to South Carolina in the first place) decided to host a surprise birthday party for Carys for her 32nd. Knowing only when and where to show up, we arrived to find an elaborate celebration on their property. The degree of whimsy and detail to the decorations and activities had us marvel, and Anthony's infamous spontaneity begged that famous question we knew so well: what if? He told the partygoers to pull out their phones for a special surprise, and unbeknownst to Carys until the moment he knelt, out came the ring he'd purchased right after the family reunion. Queue big happy tears and excitement!
