The day we say 'I Do!'

Reception

Our Wedding

It all started with a simple swipe to the right. What was supposed to be a simple date for drinks turned into an entire evening with deep conversation, dinner and a scary movie. That was back in 2016, and since then their love story has only evolved.For years they always made sure they did their Wednesday date nights which consumed of trying a new recipe and watching an episode of whatever show they loved on Netflix at the time. When it felt like they were getting ready for the next step, they would go for walks in their parents neighborhoods and point out traits that they loved of houses they saw on the street - dreaming of what their future would be. Fast forward to spring of 2021 when they purchased their first home together. Life together felt so exciting, except for the fact that Kristina is an early riser and Shaun is not!A year later, their fur baby came into their lives - making their little family feel complete. While they say opposites attract, that statement is very true with their careers. Shaun has a background of working in science laboratories and Kristina is an educator working in a room full of toddlers. Now in life, they couldn't be more similar. They are lovers of horror movies, homemade pizza and being homebodies - and wouldn't have it any other way! Now what we all want to know - how did he propose?!Their dear friend Jessica planted a little seed in Kristina's head to go to Downey's farm to take some cute fall pictures. She didn't think anything of it - they were girls on a mission to get a cute picture with pumpkins. But secretly this was Shaun's plan all along. He did his research to find the perfect spot to ask the question and when he saw the pumpkin house he knew that was the place. On the big day, Shaun made sure to wipe out any of Kristina's suspicion by moaning and groaning about how much he hated the idea of going to Downey's. They get to the pumpkin house and all the couples take their cute pictures. When it was their turn, everyone was holding up their phones to take a 'picture' but Kristina was so oblivious to this and just kept posing for what felt like the longest 2 minutes. When she thought they were done and grabbed her purse, he reached into his pocket and said "wait one more picture!" In that moment it all clicked. Why they were there, why he was acting the way he was. She was so emotional (Kristina in a nutshell) she was barely able to get the word 'yes' out!Downey's Farm will forever have a special place in their hearts and will always be their fall trip!
