After 2 years of dating, we both knew an engagement was in our future. Confident that a proposal was still a few months away, Lindsey was none-the-wiser during her Hudson, NY birthday weekend with Andrew. As she is known to do, Lindsey planned the full itinerary, including plans for a morning hike in the Catskills. Andrew knew that he wanted to propose during the hike, but with no knowledge of the trail, he was forced to wing it. Trail signage hinted at promising settings (Inspiration Point? Perfect!), but a bickering family of hikers foiled Andrew's plans. Toward the trail's end, a beautiful vantage point finally granted Andrew his opening. After patiently waiting for Lindsey to finish her lunch, Andrew surprised her by grabbing her hand and dropping to one knee. After coming back down to earth, Andrew and Lindsey set off back down the mountain, where they acknowledged the strangeness of continuing a grueling hike post-marriage proposal. It was a wonderful and unforgettable day. See the Photos section of the website for the proposal pic!

The Hudson Valley has been the setting of major relationship milestones and some of our happiest memories as a couple. We are so excited to share this special place with our friends and family. If schedules allow, we encourage you to tack on an extra day to the beginning or end of the wedding weekend in order to make the most of your time in the region.
