About Couple

"Our proposal happened at our groomsman/ bridesmaids house after their baby’s 1 year birthday. It took place in the same spot where we both said “I love you“. This added sentimentality and full-circleiness to the surprise as the bride was very sure the groom was going to propose in Italy one month later."
