It's simple. Since we met in Charlotte, once upon a time, under romantic, florescent brewery lights (ha!), we decided to stick to the State that brought us into each others lives. On our first Christmas together, we decided to forge material gifts and instead, spend a weekend away in Asheville, a place we'd both enjoyed only separately. The weekend consisted of our combined favorite things like indulging in tasty meals, drinking our favorite cocktails, spending a day at a secluded spa in the mountains and all while staying at the most cozy and beautiful hotel, The Grove Park Inn. After a nearly perfect day, we arrived back at our favorite hotel, with the giant fireplaces going in the lobby and shared "I Love Yous" for the first time. After driving for what feels like the entire state of North Carolina searching for the perfect venue, it only feels right to begin our journey together in the city that brought us love. Speaking of cities of love, THE city of love is now one that is extra special to us. Keith chose Paris to propose to Britt, and yes she was caught off guard because... who knew he could be so romantic? The story goes like this... Keith and his brother Jeremy planned a week abroad to see their two NBA teams play in a special away game. Flights were so reasonable that time of year that Brittany decided to tag along as well---but not for the sports, let's be clear :) After Keith's parents and brother Ryan caught wind of the idea and looked at flights, they were in too! A few weeks before takeoff, they somehow "convinced" (not very hard when Paris is involved) Britt's parents to join in and that's how the group came to be. Most of our families were nearby when Keith popped the question and only noticed what was going on after he had proposed. It was perfect and we spent the rest of the time drinking champagne and celebrating in the City of Love.
