I truly believe that the sweetest part about a proposal isn’t the setup. When you think back on the moment, I don’t think the first thing that comes to mind will be exactly what he said to you. The stories you’ll tell for the next 50 years will be about how he thought about it […]

There are moments on a wedding day that you know you will remember forever, in real time, as they’re happening. For James, I think one of those moments happened in the middle of the ceremony.
