MAGGIE + ADAM
Adam and maggie got engaged on July 18, 2015, and at that time had been together for a little over 3 years. Maggie had been waiting and not so secretly tagging Adam in ring photos on Instagram for over a year. Each summer, her family goes on vacation to a spot near Rosemary Beach in Florida. Adam had been with them a couple times and I had always imagined getting proposed to there. That summer, Maggie’s family and Adam went to the beach without Maggie’s sister because she had an internship in New York. Maggie was disappointed because knew that Adam wouldn’t propose without the whole family there, so she didn’t think it was going to happen. Little did she know he was flying Clare down to be there for the big moment. The plan that night was to get ready, take pictures on the beach, and go to dinner. As they were walking down to the beach she was getting curious and wondering if maybe it actually was going to happen. She looked at Adam’s pants pockets, but didn’t see a box, so thought maybe she was just reading too much into the situation. They started taking pictures and then Adam started talking about how we needed to figure out what we were going to do for my birthday as they continued to walk down the beach. At this point, she had a strong feeling like it was about to happen. Finally they stopped and he turned to her but before he could even say anything to Maggie she said, “Is this really happening?!” It was perfect and beautiful and better than she had imagined! Her family had been taking pictures the whole time!
