Tell us a little about you and your beloved: Jeff’s proposal was a complete surprise. We were at Lake Shasta with friends and family on a houseboat for the weekend. He took me for a ride on our boat just before dinner and proposed on the front of the boat in a small cove in the lake. It was so sweet! His parents, my mom and a group of close friends were back at the house boat where we got to share the news and celebrate.
What was the most amazing part of your day? Being with family and friends…the reception. Celebrating with those around us.
