[field title=”Proposal Story”]A Love Story That Began with Serendipity:
Aubree and Ryan’s love story started with a touch of serendipity. They first crossed paths at a birthday party. Although Aubree was in a relationship at the time, Ryan couldn’t help but be intrigued by her. Their connection grew over time, despite not exchanging numbers or talking extensively at the party. Ryan’s curiosity about Aubree never waned, and he continued to inquire about her, week after week.
Their paths crossed again a month later, at a Starbucks in Green Hills. It was during a snowstorm, adding an unexpected twist to their budding romance. Their initial meeting left them feeling a connection, but life’s twists and turns delayed their first date.
From First Date to Forever:
Aubree and Ryan’s first date was a memorable one, taking place during an ice storm that left Aubree trapped at her parents’ house for six days. The delay only intensified their anticipation, and when they finally met for dinner, they talked for hours, shutting down the restaurant. It was the beginning of a journey filled with open and vulnerable conversations.
Their love story continued to unfold, with a significant milestone being their presence as the only two single guests at their friend’s wedding in Phoenix. Their connection deepened, and they became inseparable from that moment forward.
The Moment She Knew:
For Aubree, it didn’t take long to realize that Ryan was the one. His kindness, genuine nature, love for family and friends, and his ability to connect with people deeply all contributed to her certainty. Despite the seven months it took for Ryan to say “I love you,” Aubree could feel the depth of his emotions. Their connection was undeniable, established from their very first date when they openly discussed life’s most profound topics.
A Proposal Full of Surprises:
Ryan’s proposal was a beautiful surprise that took place in the family’s Jackson Hole home during a summer visit. Despite rumors from friends that the proposal would occur, Ryan had Aubree convinced otherwise. Little did she know, he had been planning it meticulously.
While Ryan had originally claimed there was a dinner with his parents, it turned out to be part of the surprise. After the proposal, the couple was met with a family celebration featuring a beautifully set dinner on the back patio. The ring itself was a family heirloom with a story, a center stone from Ryan’s great-grandmother’s ring, making it even more meaningful.

The designer was Elysian Bridal, an Australian designer. Aubree’s dress was classic, stunning, and had an intricate attention to detail. The off-the-shoulder, sweetheart neckline was stunning with the form-fitted silhouette. Her veil was so sophisticated with lace detailing along the train.
