From The Bride…Tim proposed to me after at Sasco Hill beach, down the street from our home on the Monday after Easter. Our parents were at our home for the holiday and all had met for the first time. After his parents had left our house it was just my parents Tim and I – he thought that would be an opportune time to ask my parents for my hand in marriage. Tim suggested that I run out to go get a manicure (since I worked so hard cooking and cleaning for our parents to come for the holiday) and that is when he asked my dad. Of course my parents were ecstatic and did not think twice about saying yes to his request. My family left and headed back to Chicago and the very next day Tim asked me to come home from work early because he wanted to take me on a special date to thank me again for the hard work over the holiday. So I get home at 5 on the dot, and he was sitting in our family room and just said okay get dressed we have to go. Typically we don’t eat at 5, so I really did not know what was going on. We live .25 of a mile from the beach and he started to head in that direction – so I thought oh how nice he made us a picnic. We get there, he said get out and close your eyes – and at this time I heard a small faint bark of a dog in the distance so I thought he got us a puppy!! I was wrong, I opened my eyes and saw someone else’s puppy running in the distance, and Tim down on one knee! I was absolutely stunned, STUNNED. Of course we had talked about it, but I thought he was going to wait to do it until after he had graduate business school in June. After it all sank in, we went back to the car where he had a bottle of Cristal and blankets and flowers. We just sat there, all alone at our beach – no one around us except seagulls and strangers taking it all in wrapped up in the blankets from our family room. The feeling I had that night, was one I had never felt in my life before. I had never felt so secure, loved and excited. Our engagement photos were taken by Jack Jeffries of Christian Oth Studio on the most perfect late October day. The foliage was at its peak in our small town of Southport CT and the sun was shining. We began the photo session at our home and then proceeded to walk around the town and found the best trees and just started snapping away. I did a quick outfit change, and we headed down to the same beach we were engaged at and had some great pictures taken down on the rocks and in the brush.
