The couple wed on Nov . 5 , 2022 , at Smith Farm Gardens in East Haddam , CT Kirsten Capron Photography
The Meet Cute : We met in college in North Carolina , through mutual friends in Greek life ; a classic Southern school love story . Our November wedding marked approximately six-and-a-half years together .
The Proposal : We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together , but weren ’ t sure at what point in our lives an engagement would feel important to us . It was a total surprise — which for anyone who knows Bliss knows how difficult that is to pull off — that took place around Lake Sunapee , NH , on Mount Kearsarge . This is a hike that we love to do every summer and now it has even more meaning for us . Neither of us remember exactly what was said , but we both know it was one of the most exciting moments of our lives , and we practically sprinted back down the mountain to tell everyone .
The Engagement Shoot : The Mustang has become our dream car for us after this shoot ! However , the one in our shoot was rented for the day . Our phenomenal photographer , Kirsten , had suggested photos in front of some classic boats in the Newport Shipyard , which was brilliant . We found that the same classic boat company rented classic cars , so we acted on renting one for the evening immediately . It was the perfect symbolic activity as we ’ re always on the go . The shoot , the car , the sunset , everything about that night was a dream come true — we didn ’ t want it to end .
Amy & Jeff
The couple wed on July 8 , 2022 , at Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth , MA House of Lubold Photography
The Meet Cute : A friend of ours asked Jeff how he knew me after seeing we were mutual friends on Facebook for eleven years , although Jeff said he didn ' t know me . He sent me a message and that ' s where it all started . We met for drinks at a local brewpub . We grew up in the same town , went to the same college , and had several mutual friends but our paths didn ' t cross until I was twenty-nine and he was thirty-one !
The Proposal : Pure magic . Jeff planned a quick getaway to Washington D . C ., in April 2021 . On the first day there , we rented a car and drove an hour to Shenandoah National Park for a private horseback riding tour . At one point in the tour , we reached a clearing in the woods where a table was set with Champagne , roses and a horseshoe with our names and the date . Before I could pop the bottle , Jeff popped the question . It was a weekend full of everything I loved : D . C ., national parks and , of course , Jeff !
The Advice : Figure out the things that are most important to you and put the majority of your time and thought into planning those things well . For us , it was food and music . Choose your vendors well ; they will be a lifesaver in some way on the day of your wedding ( shout out to our vendors : House of Lubold Photography , Angelic Affairs , Red ’ s Street Kitchen , Pat Long and @ the _ hairdiaries ). Finally , make arrangements to enjoy all of the delicious food that you picked out ! The day and night goes by so fast .
