It was a cold February evening at Breaux Vineyards, the kind of quiet, golden dusk where time feels like it slows just enough to let something extraordinary unfold. Dan had been invited by a mutual coworker—someone who had long sensed there was something meant to be between him and Alaina. As the vineyard closed for the day, Dan joined the after-work crew for a glass of wine and some bread and cheese, unaware that his life was about to shift in the most beautiful way. From the moment they met, there was a stillness in the air, as if the world paused to make space for something sacred. Alaina spoke about wine with grace and ease, her passion flowing effortlessly. Dan, who normally spoke with confidence, found himself quietly captivated—watching her, listening not just to her words but to the rhythm of her presence. Something in her energy felt familiar, like a soul he already knew. What began as light conversation grew into something deeper with every glance, every shared laugh. They didn’t want the night to end. So when the group moved to a nearby brewery, they followed, hearts already beginning to speak in a language beyond words. Even as closing time approached again, neither of them wanted to say goodbye. That’s when Alaina, with a gentle smile, asked Dan if he’d like to join her for trivia night later in the week. Without hesitation, he said yes. But it was on the long drive home, under the hush of the night sky, that Dan felt the full weight of what had just happened. His heart knew. He messaged her that same night, unable to hold back how deeply he felt connected to someone he had only just met—but already felt so drawn to. Their first official date—sushi and an off road adventure around the beautiful farm where Dan works—only deepened the magic. It was freezing out, but neither of them noticed. What they felt was warmth, an energy that pulled them together like gravity. By the time they said goodbye, they both knew—something rare, something timeless, had begun. In the weeks that followed, the connection blossomed effortlessly. Adventures unfolded, conversations grew deeper, laughter came easily. It didn’t take long before they made it official. What they had found wasn’t just love—it was so much more! Fast forward two and a half years: summertime in Florida. Visiting family, soaking in the joy of being together. Dan had quietly planned something special—a visit to Marineland for a dolphin swim, a moment he hoped would be etched in memory forever. The water sparkled under the July sun as they met the dolphins, both beaming with childlike wonder. And then, as if part of a dream, a dolphin swam up to Alaina holding a toy. She threw it once, not noticing. But when it returned, something caught her eye “Will you marry me?” written across it. She turned slowly, her heart already racing. Behind her, Dan was waiting on one knee, the water surrounding them like a sacred circle. He asked her to spend forever with him. And with joyful tears and a heart that already knew the answer long before the question was asked, Alaina said yes. Their love was never rushed. It didn’t need to be. It simply was—timeless, true, and deeply rooted in something that felt destined from the very start That’s where our story left off, and now, we’re excited to begin a new chapter with all of you. We invite our friends and family to be a part of our special day, as we celebrate the love, joy, and deep connection that has brought us to this moment. We can’t wait to share this unforgettable day with those who mean the most to us.
