When we were preparing for our trip to Italy and Greece I loved planning things with Steven. So when Steven booked an amazing hotel in Santorini without talking to me, I was upset. I had no idea that he was planned to propose in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

He asked me to marry him on our balcony overlooking the caldera in Oia, Santorini at sunset. I will always remember that view, the song he played, and the look on his face. We can’t wait to fulfill that commitment we made that day to get married and we are thrilled that you will be there with us.

Upon deciding I wanted to propose to Rachel, I knew I wanted to make it special for her. In planning the proposal, I’d book any and all appointments and errands close to the jewelry store to sneak ring shopping in. Months later, us navigating the streets of 107° Rome with a backpack I couldn’t afford to lose had me high strung, but excited for what was to come.

Successfully making it to Santorini, proposing by sunset, and seeing her face light up with “are you sure?!”, followed by “YES!” her was the greatest feeling ever. In short time our day will be here, and we can’t wait for you all to be with us as we unite in marriage.
