LOVE STORY
Jake and Elizabeth’s love story began on January 21, 2020, in the vibrant city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Their first date was a blast – a fraternity party at the University of Alabama during their sophomore year of college.
Eight months after their first date, Jake and Elizabeth found themselves at the New Jersey shore in vibrant Asbury Park on a sun-drenched day. As they gazed at each other, Jake whispered those three magical words to Elizabeth, “I love you.” She immediately reciprocated. It was a defining moment, the start of a beautiful journey they will cherish forever.
Elizabeth adores Jake’s meticulous attention to detail and extraordinary efforts to bring joy to others. Jake is captivated by Elizabeth’s infectious smile, joyous spirit, strong work ethic, and deep-rooted values. Their love story is an inspiring testament to the power of appreciation and understanding in a relationship.
PROPOSAL
On May 6, 2024, something truly magical happened. Jake orchestrated the most unforgettable surprise proposal for Elizabeth during their vacation in the breathtaking Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The scene was straight out of a fairytale, with twinkling lanterns and fragrant flowers turning the beach into a mesmerizing wonderland, all thanks to Beverly Diane Party Consultants.
As Jake and Elizabeth strolled along the beach, she had no idea what was coming. Little did she know that this night would be etched into their memories forever. Jake knelt in the sand and asked her to be his wife. She quickly responded, “Yes.” The evening was extraordinary, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful future together.
Jonathan Mavila Photography captured the beautiful beach proposal, preserving the moment’s magic. Elizabeth looked absolutely stunning in her floral Farm Rio romper, and Jake was the epitome of casual yet stylish in his crisp white button-down and khaki shorts. The surprises didn’t just end with the proposal. To top it all off, the evening was even more special when Elizabeth discovered that her close family members had flown in to join the celebration. It was a heartwarming gesture that made the evening truly unforgettable.
And let’s remember the stunning engagement ring! Jake’s choice of a round diamond set in platinum, accented by smaller diamonds and a hidden halo, truly wowed Elizabeth.
ENGAGEMENT PARTY
Jake and Elizabeth’s engagement party was a beautiful and heartwarming event. It took place on May 11, 2024, and was a complete surprise to Elizabeth. The party had a stunning “white out” theme and was hosted by Jake’s parents in their backyard. The love and joy in the air made it a truly unforgettable evening!
