In the heart of New York City, Rachel and Charlie connected over their shared enthusiasm of reviewing the best espresso martini’s and nachos the city had to offer. In fact, that was their first date! Upon first meeting, it felt like they already knew each other. They connected instantly and quickly became a huge part of each other’s lives. As they continued to learn more about each other, their love only grew. It became clearer and clearer that they were each other’s missing piece. To quote Rachel’s favorite movie, Rocky, “she’s got gaps, I’ve got gaps, together we fill gaps.” They bring out the best in each other and feel so grateful and lucky everyday to have found their soulmate and life partner.

The boys were playing golf and the girls were having a sunset photoshoot ... or so Rachel thought! Upon arriving at the most romantic look at point in California, Rachel was shocked to see Charlie standing in a heart of roses. In that moment, her heart expanded more than she ever believed possible. Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing in the background and Charlie got down on one knee right as Taylor sung "he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said..." Rachel was completely speechless, blown away by Charlie in every way. Yes! She screamed. They kissed, hugged, smiled, cried. Rachel's entire family came out from hiding in the bushes to celebrate as the day turned into night and the most magical sunset unfolded. We continued the party all night long. It was the most love and happiness we've ever experienced. We would say it was a dream, but it was even more than that!
