Liz + Daniel’s love story fatefully began at an 11.11.11 party. For years they had shared many of the same friends, yet for some reason hadn’t actually crossed paths until that moment. L + D told us that it really didn’t take long for them to realize they were falling for each other, and soon, Liz began hoping Daniel would propose every time they went out on a special date. 🙂 Exactly one year later, Daniel’s carefully planned proposal was ready:
“One year from the day we met, I took Liz to Athens, GA to show her a few places that were meaningful to me. Little did she know, I had recruited some friends of ours to help set up the long-awaited proposal. As we walked along a path down by the river, flowers and letters from each of our family members were tied to trees along the way–telling her how much they loved her and how excited they were for this moment. The final letter, from me, was waiting for her on an overlook by the river with a picnic of champagne and roses. I nervously fumbled for the ring, proposed, and had a beautiful, whirl of a moment. We left Athens as the sun went down and had a surprise engagement party with our close friends and family for the rest of the evening. It was truly one of the best days of our lives.”
We adore these two, and as you’ll see from their very beautiful & personal wedding held at Vinewood (with invites & save the dates made by Liz, table boxes made by her father, and table arrangements set up by friends & family), their day was a exactly what they had hoped: “a place for people to feel loved and welcomed by us”. Daniel + Liz, we are so thankful for you and thrilled to have you as part of our (once like a spark) family! xoxo
