Our Story
How We Met
Once upon a time, amidst the flashing lights and the pulsating beats of music, two souls met. We danced the night away in the City of Brotherly Love at a music festival called Hijinx. Our shared passion for music, fun, and nature drew us together. From that enchanting night on, we fell in love and our souls became intertwined.
The Proposal
Chris, ever the romantic, planned a surprise trip to Autumn’s hometown of Philadelphia. He meticulously crafted an itinerary filled with memorable activities. They began their day with a surprise brunch, reuniting with close friends. Afterward, Chris took Autumn to their cherished nature spot, known as “The Magic Tree,” where they had first said “I love you.” With a photographer secretly ready, Chris proposed beneath the enchanting tree. Their shared love for nature made the moment even more special, and Autumn joyfully accepted his heartfelt proposal. Later, they celebrated happily with family and friends for a surprise engagement party hosted by Autumns wonderful mother.
