The Proposal
My husband planned a trip to Hawaii in January and kept most of it a surprise. All I knew is we were going to Hawaii, and he said he had the rest covered. I knew we had to be ready for a nice dinner one of the first nights we were there. We got ready and on our way to dinner, we stopped for a “quick helicopter ride.” He arranged for a private tour of the island and ended up stopping at a waterfall. That’s where he proposed. We got back on the helicopter and headed back to the resort where he had a romantic dinner on the beach set-up for us. Before dinner, we happened to run into a photographer from Michigan who was looking for a couple to photograph at sunset. We were already dressed up, so it worked out perfectly. We ended up getting engagement photos right on the beach at sunset in Kona. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day.
In Preparation
I worked closely with Lindsay at Fox Events who did an AMAZING job at planning the wedding of our dreams and making my vision come to life.
The Big Day
We had all of our friends and family fly to Charleston for our destination wedding (we live in Chicago, but I’m from Philadelphia and Scott’s from Chicago). Aaron & Jill and Drew at Dock House Digital did an awesome job with our photos and videography. We are still in awe when we relive our day through the images. Everyone had a wonderful time, and I’m still getting texts about how it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to.
The Retreat
We headed to Bora Bora right after the wedding and stayed in a bungalow. The nine days that we were there were filled with relaxation, sunbathing, massages, kayaking, good food and swimming with sharks and stingrays. The bungalow was so amazing, but I can’t begin to describe the beauty of this island. Pictures don’t do it justice. I’m already wanting to plan an anniversary trip back there.
