WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Elisa & Paul’s story began a few years ago, they both were looking for a new chance at love on a iconic dating site. it was Elisa’s first time actually meeting and going out with some one from the site, for she didn’t want to be murdered. She had a feeling that Paul would be a gentlemen. From the first moment she looked at his hazel eyes, she knew there was something kind about him. Paul had been on a few dates with a few forgettable women, but there was something that Elisa had that drew him to her like a moth to a flame.

It was finally time for their date and Elisa wanted to make sure it was somewhere safe, and choosing her home town was the best bet, The town had a Jazz Festival happening the night of their date, so they decided that would be fun. Paul & Elisa spent 8 hours that night talking and getting to know one other. There was just something they couldn’t describe, call it fate or call it destiny, whatever it was, it was meant to be!

THE PROPOSAL

Paul had the whole day planned for Elisa, he wouldn’t tell her what was going to happen because he wanted it to be a surprise. He wanted to spend the day doing the things Elisa loved to do painting, mugs, wineries, friends and food. The whole thing was an utter surprise to Elisa. When the couple came home from that most exciting day, Paul got down on one knee and asked for Elisa’s hand in marriage. Elisa was overjoyed and said yes.
