AJ proposed to Jen in October 2008. They are planning a summer wedding as we are lucky enough to get to follow them through their planning process all the way to their big day. Here is their story so far:
THE FIRST DATE
Jen and AJ were sey up on a blind date through a mutual friend. They decided to go out for ice cream and explore the the wonderful ocean side town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. The two ate ice-cream and walked the beach and town for two hours. (I would say the date was going well!). Jen says she AJ confirmed he was fabulous when Jen dripped her ice cream on her sun dress, "AJ instantly pulled out his undershirt from his button down so that he could wipe it off my dress for me..."
It was love at first "drip"...Jen knew when she left him that day that she had just met either her best friend or husband to be... luckily it's both!
THE ENGAGEMENT
On Friday, October 17 AJ took Jen for more ice cream at their favorite spot before it closed for the season. Eating their ice cream, they walked to the beach and played the game..."if you could change one thing about this house what would it be?" Disctracted by thinking about the mansions that line the rocky beach, Jen stumbled upon a blanket surrounded with candles! (which AJ's roommate, had been dutifully keeping the Cub Scouts and dogs away from until their arrival)
AJ presented a dozen long stem red roses and proposed! Of course Jen said yes! And to top it all off, AJ arranged a photographer to capture the engagement as it happened!
Here are just a few of their wondeful proposal photos:
As he pops the question...
The embrace! (and YES!)
The embrace! (and YES!)
Realizing their photographer was catching every moment!
