Forever Together
Our Story
How We Met
Our whirlwind romance began how many do these days, with chatting online. After a few conversations, Nate finally asked Bella if he could take her out on a date. She agreed to do dinner and a movie with him, both nervous and excited to meet the other. When they met at Applebee's, the connection was instant. They sat at the bar for a while, getting to know each other. Bella had warned Nate that she was a reserved and shy person. But in this instant, she opened herself up to him and the conversation was flowing. Afterwards, they went and saw one of the worst movies ever made, 'Thanksgiving.' It was so bad that it was good, leaving the two of them giggling and still having a great time. They went to a local bar where they continued to talk late into the night. The night ended with a kiss and with both of them on the other's mind. So much so that the next morning they met up for breakfast and have been inseparable ever since.
The Proposal
Nate had been planning this engagement for a few months, trying to get it perfect, but every idea ended up having a complication or the plans fell through. Finally, Nate picked the perfect spot and the perfect plan: take Bella to Yaddo Gardens in Saratoga and enlist his cousin Winter to take pictures of the moment under the guise of a photo shoot. Winter is an aspiring photographer who will also be our wedding photographer, and Bella was told that this would be good practice for Winter. As they went around the garden, they took many cute photos with different poses. By the pillars in this garden, Winter told Bella to turn around so she could get a photo of her looking over the garden. Nate got on one knee and waited for her to turn around. But Bella was so engrossed in the photo shoot that when she turned around, she was still looking into the camera instead of looking down. Winter instructed Bella to look down, and that's when Nate finally popped the question. She said yes! They ended the day with more pictures and celebrating with their families. It was a picture perfect day.
