Q + A

Wedding Party

Saturday May 22nd, 2021Shelly and Matt arrived at the Cohens' beach house in in Long Beach Island, NJ to spend the week there. In order to get Shelly out of the house, Matt had a family friend ask Shelly and her sisters to get happy hour drinks nearby. When the girls arrived back at the house, Shelly was told dinner was waiting in the backyard. When Shelly walked through the gate and turned the corner into the backyard, Matt was there, dressed up, standing in front of a beautiful picnic setup (thank you, Picnic Perfect LBI!) overlooking the bay. After a sweet speech from Matt, some tears from Shelly, and a BEAUTIFUL ring, they were engaged! Matt asked if they should pop some champagne, and pointed to a bottle on the picnic table that he had secretly finagled to LBI. It was a bottle from their days working at OMD (where they met!) and it was sitting in their apartment for years – they had always joked that they would drink it for a special occasion. Shelly and Matt went inside to get some champagne glasses, and Shelly found the whole house decorated with photos, balloons, etc. They went back outside to drink the champagne, and the Cohens walked into the backyard from hiding to join the celebration. Matt then FaceTimed the Brodskys to share the news, only for them to turn the corner into the backyard as well! It was a great evening, with lots of food and drinks and laughing and smiling and celebrating. But most importantly, lots of love! It was truly the perfect proposal and the perfect weekend.
