Our Engagement Story

For those who maybe haven't heard our engagement story, we want to share a condensed version with you all! This past summer, Bailey had the opportunity to complete a semester abroad in Madrid, Spain and I jumped at the chance to join him for the month. Throughout our stay, we planned weekend trips to neighboring places and were lucky enough to visit Barcelona, Lisbon, and London! Since some may say I am a bit "type A", I had nearly the entire trip mapped out on an excel spreadsheet. From hotels and excursions down to restaurants reservations and the best cafes, we were going to be locals! Ironically enough, I had forgotten to plan anything for one of our days in Portugal and Bailey took this as an opportunity to surprise me. He booked us a private tour in Sintra, Portugal and truly thought of every detail. From insisting I get a fresh manicure (previously a chrome disaster) to literally not letting me wear jeans even though it was FREEZING and rainy. Yet, even with his persisting, I had not a single clue :) On a rainy June 9th in Quinta da Regaleira, Bailey got down on one knee and proposed to me with both of our families watching on zoom (yes, it was 4 am and they were all doing a champagne toast at my house LOL). We cried, we celebrated, and we took pictures to encapsulate the best day of our lives to date! We cannot wait for you to celebrate our love with us!
