Who is ready to party?

We met the way all great 21st century couples meet...on Hinge! One day while scrolling through the app, Rachael came across a bearded cutie leaning up against his Mustang who had liked one of her pictures. After a quick glance at his profile which mentioned he too liked cruise vacations, she shot him a message (in all caps of course). She asked him about his cruise experience. He then told her that he almost tipped while on a cruise ship years ago (very dramatic story here) and she was sold. He suggested Lazy Dog as the first date (where she showed up late and left early) and as they would say...the rest is history!

For nearly 4 months, Blaine had been planning a trip to La Quinta with Rachael's mom and best friend Alyssa. Rachael assumed it was a normal family vacation for a while, but started to get suspicious when Blaine suddenly needed a haircut and two new button up shirts for the trip. It got her gears turning and she not-so-subtly let everyone know they were up to something. After providing Blaine with a boatload of nerves that weekend, they drove on the golfcart to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the golf course. Blaine let her in on the secret weekend plans and popped the big question. Through tears and face in hands, she said yes and they spent the rest of the weekend celebrating with their closest family and friends who came from far and wide to be in on the surprise!
