The Proposal

Where's the ice cream?!

The 1000 Islands region has come to hold a very special place in our hearts. The past 3 years of our lives together have been some of our favorites. We've shared our first home together and added a very cute doggo, Willow, to the family! We enjoy our time kayaking on the river, going for bike rides, backpacking in the Adirondacks and of course eating ice cream after a top down cruise in the miata. It only seemed natural that the place we came to love would also become the backdrop to our engagement. Our day started with a Clayton Island Boat tour through the islands with a stop at a Boldt Castle on Heart Island. We continued our day with a trip to Canada in the convertible followed by a quick stop at a Canadian National Park off the 1000 Islands Parkway for a scenic proposal. After plenty of "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!" Mark explained that the ring box was personally handmade using the wood from our very first Christmas tree! Of course no perfect day would be complete without an ice cream cone and a sunset.

For all the days along the way
