The Wedding Party

Proposal

On April 11th Rick took Molly for a quick get-away to Saint Joseph MI. After a lovely day of wine-tasting with Brad and Char Patrick (AKA the decoys), they took a walk on the beach. Standing on beautiful sand dune, Rick dropped to one knee and proposed. As an added bonus he hired photographer Ben Pancoast to candidly capture the proposal! The surprises did not stop there, arriving at the dinner reservations, both sets of their parents were waiting to celebrate! They are both incredibly excited to celebrate with friends and family in August!
