THE PROPOSAL

In the midst of a pandemic, we managed to squeeze in a mini vacation to Blue Ridge, Georgia with Chris' parents to celebrate my 32nd birthday. The first night we were at the cabin, we drank lots and lots of champagne and wine celebrating the start of a beautiful birthday trip together. Needless to say, the next day, I was not feeling 100% (sorry mom and dad, your baby was hungover), so we postponed the hike we had planned for that day. After some nice R & R, the next day, we were up and ready to go for our hike at Raven Cliff Falls Trail. In my mind, the most exciting part of this hike was going to be seeing majestic and beautiful waterfall at the end of the trail. However, Chris changed that when he got down on one knee behind me and uttered the words “the only thing more beautiful than this waterfall is you baby.” Extremely flattered, I turned around and was in complete shock to see him on one knee asking me to marry him!!!! Ahhhh! All the emotions rushed through and I could not help but think how perfect everything was in that moment including the engagement ring (wowza)! Luckily, he had arranged for his parents to take pictures and videos and I will forever be grateful that it was captured for us so that we always remember that special moment. After the hike, we went to Helen, Georgia to celebrate with some great food, German beer and live music!

Thank you so much ! Love, Chris & Carly
