It was one of the most romantic proposal stories I have ever heard. I was sitting with Tom and Erin, meeting with them for the first time, and listening to how he asked Erin to be his wife. They both went to the College of William and Mary and about to graduate and embark on their new journey as physical therapists in Florida. "We had talked about marriage before so that element was NOT a surprise", says Erin with a infectious smile, "I just didn't know when the 'question' would be popped!" During graduation madness, he arranged it all down to the last detail. One morning after a big college party, he had wanted to take his lady to breakfast. She just went along with it and her roommates said they would all meet up later. As they were walking, Tom led Erin along a path in the woods that led to the Crim Dell bridge, which has a old saying that if you cross the bridge with your partner, you will have a lasting partnership/marriage. (AWWW!) So they walk up and she sees a couple of guys on the bridge jamming out on some acoustic guitars. Nothing out of the ordinary for around campus. Then all of a sudden they start playing "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles and family and friends start coming from within the woods!!!!!!!!! SWOON!!!! As they all start singing along and the guitarists play a medley of other favorite songs of the couple, Tom proclaims his love for Erin and asks her to spend the rest of their lives together.........sigh. So amazing. I just loved hearing this story from them and seeing the memories reflect in their eyes.
The more we sat and talked the more I realized this would not be another ordinary wedding reception! Everything from a Best Man toast that will be a SNL skit to the bride's grandfather's Barber Shop quartet performing, I was just beyond excited for the day to get here. I know I wasn't the only one excited because the moment I saw them at their reception, I knew they were in utter blissful happiness. I knew it would be a super reception :)
Fuzzy picture? Warm and fuzzy more like it!
This kid owned the dance floor. He had every girl out there twirling and flipping...it was killer!
AHHH! I wanted to hug and kiss all of them! Aren't they just adorable!!!
<3 They were so wonderful!
Little sneak peak of their performance!
They wanted every single group participation dance out there! We covered the Hokey Pokey to the Cupid Shuffle...and they loved every second!
Split the crown for some runway action! They were naturals :)
All in all, it was an amazing time! Right now they are relaxing in Disney World (jealous!!). CONGRATS YOU GUYS! Good luck in Florida and can't wait to see what amazing things you guys do next!
