We actually met online... and look where we are now! Jonathan asked Emily on a date to go four-wheeling and she said yes... then she came down with a cold and had to bail. Jonathan thought she just didn't want to meet up - she swears that wasn't it. Jonathan tried one more time to plan a date and said it was a surprise but Emily had to promise she would go.. so she did. He surprised her with a date in Boston for dinner and THEN.... center ice tickets to a Bruins game. That's what started it all.
Jonathan surprised Emily with a weekend away in Bar Harbor, ME. Emily grew up spending a lot of summers here and at Schoodic Point so it was special. They had taken a picture on top of Cadillac Mountain when they first started dating and Jonathan said he wanted to recreate it. They drove 5 hours to get there and Cadillac was closed due to icy conditions. Little did Emily know... Jonathan was racking his brain for a back up plan. They went to town, drank beer and had lunch and decided they would try to go back up later. They went back and it was still closed so Jonathan decided they would drive to Schoodic (another hour north). As they were driving out, a park ranger drove in and Emily said "maybe he is going to open the gate!" so they drove back and waited. The park ranger drove up and finally came down to unlock the gates. They were the 3rd person on top of the mountain that day. They walked around to try to find the spot they originally took the picture and Jonathan had packed a tripod to take the picture. When they got set up, Emily thought they were taking a picture and then Jonathan got down on one knee and proposed (with it all on camera). Emily obviously said YES!
We are so excited to share this next step in our adventure with you! Especially now that we’ve had to wait an additional year to have all of our favorite people in one place. Get ready for amazing music, sweet dance moves, quite a bit of alcohol and a whole lotta LOVE. See you in September!!
