“I’ve always dreamed about having a wedding
ceremony on the beach, where I could dip my
toes in the sand. But, just when that moment
had finally arrived, a huge storm began to pass
over us. We postponed the ceremony for 30
minutes, and the rain let up. Everyone rushed
to the beach so we could begin. The wind
was blowing hard, but we made it through the
ceremony and raced through pictures just in
time for it to start raining on the last picture.
Later, we witnessed the most magnificent
sunset I have ever seen on the Gulf Coast. We
ran back down to the beach to capture more
photos. Our ceremony could not have turned
out more picture-perfect.” – Ashley

“Joe’s proposal is straight out of a fairytale.
After dating for a year, I planned a surf- and
adventure-filled trip for us to Costa Rica.
Halfway through the trip, we went to a secluded
three-tier waterfall called Tres Pacinas. It
was hard to find, and we hiked a long way to
get there. I suggested we head back, but he
insisted we keep going, telling me it would be
a walk I would never forget. Once we found
the waterfall, it was magical. We climbed to its
second and third tier and jumped from pool
to pool. After a while, we sat on the side of
the pool with the water falling all around us.
He told me to look at him, and we locked eyes
while he embraced my hand. He placed the ring
on my finger, whispering sweet words and ask-
ing me to marry him. I couldn’t have dreamed
of a more romantic proposal.” – Ashley
