[field title=”Proposal Story”]
From the Bride Cathy… For my birthday, Gavin planned a surprise trip without revealing the destination. When we arrived at the airport, I discovered we were going to Phoenix. We explored the city and visited the Grand Canyon before heading to the border of Utah. That’s when the amazing surprise happened – we arrived at Amangiri, a resort I’ve always wanted to visit but never told him about. We enjoyed stunning views and a luxurious stay. It’s a romantic and special resort located in the heart of the desert. After a lovely dinner, he surprised me with a birthday cake in our room. As I was cutting the cake, he got down on one knee and proposed with a ring he had been carrying. It was a beautiful moment filled with love and excitement, and of course, I said yes!

Cathy chose the Pronovias IXION dress for its simple and elegant design. She especially loves the satin fabric’s beautiful luster, which is not too overwhelming. Surprisingly, she bought the dress without trying it on in-store. She only got to try it two months before the wedding, but it exceeded all her expectations.
