Our Proposal Story

Austin pulled off the most impossible task - keeping our engagement a HUGE surprise! He proposed to me at the place where we first met, Lake Norman! We went to my sisters house shortly after to "surprise her" when in reality our entire family was there surprsing me with an engagement party! It was one of the most beautiful and special days of our lives!
