After Party

Our Wedding

We knew the giant pandas would be leaving the National Zoo in December so we booked a trip to Washington DC just to see them! To our surprise and disappointment, China took the pandas earlier than expected and they were gone two days before we got there. Although disappointed, we still went (thank god!!!). We went onto our day with brunch, the zoo, and then what Taylor thought would be a normal night with dinner and seeing a friend. We stopped to see the sunset at the reflection pond and low and behold, Brad starts doin' the thing! He got down on his knee and after a few second of shock and excitement, he had to remind Taylor to give an actual answer - of course it was a YES. Brad secretly spoke with Taylor's friend so she was in on it all when we met us later in the evening! Washington DC will always hold a special place in our hearts, let's hope they get some pandas back soon! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you all.
