Bringing Back the Sheer Joy and Magic of Backyard Weddings

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]All the colors of the rainbow, pink, red, blue, purple, orange, white, yellow, and lots of greenery![/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The wedding took place in the backyard of the bride’s parents. The vibe was very colorful and whimsical. The garden was amazing and green on the wedding day, and we really wanted it to speak for itself. Wee wanted a very relaxed wedding, with many places to sit or walk around and enjoy the day![/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”] A fun story!

The proposal took place on the day we got the keys to our house.
we had been away on a work trip to Paris the days before, I thought maybe he was going to propose on this trip, but it didn’t happen.
So on Monday after the trip, we went to pick up our keys to the new house. After that, we, of course, drove to our new home.

Dennis asked me if I could help my dad in the backyard with something (which I thought was odd), so my dad started stalling me for a few minutes. Then he asked if I could grab something inside. So I opened the door, and the room was full of rose petals and greenery. I walked upstairs, and there he was on one knee!

During the planning time of the proposal, Dennis had asked if he could have the keys a few days earlier so our parents could set this whole proposal up! it was so sweet![/field]
