We're getting married!

From the first time Alora and I visited Cheekwood during the holidays in 2020, I knew it was a special place – not just in general, but especially for us. We immediately decided to make it a tradition, and we've returned every year since. Our day always begins at San Antonio Taco Co., followed by a stroll through the stunning holiday lights in Belle Meade. But the most meaningful part of every Cheekwood trip isn't the lights or the festivities – it's the time spent with Alora, surrounded by the love we share. Cheekwood isn't just special because of its beauty or the joy it brings during the holidays; it's special because it's where I get to do the things I love most with the person I love most. And that's why I knew – without a doubt – it was the perfect place to ask the love of my life to be my partner forever. - Brooks Brooks's proposing at Cheekwood further solidified that he is the perfect person for me. Not because Cheekwood is grand or fancy, but because it showed how much Brooks truly knows me. He chose the perfect time of year, the perfect ring, the perfect amount of privacy to actually pop the question, and a perfect dinner with our closest friends to celebrate afterward. Brooks knows me better than I know myself and made a dream I didn't realize I had come to life. Every Christmas trip to Cheekwood somehow makes our relationship stronger, and I can't wait to carry the tradition on for the rest of our lives. - Alora
