Wedding day for Lydia + Rylie š¤
How did Rylie propose? āThe proposal happened at Loverās Leap in Rock Cityāduring the last few miles of our 3,000-mile drive from Oregon to Georgia, with my entire life packed into my car. We hadnāt really stopped to take in any views along the way, so when we pulled over to finally soak one in, I had no idea what was coming. Little did I know, he had planned this moment before we even started the trek. And yes⦠I was in flip-flopsāotherwise I definitely wouldāve suspected something.
What was your favorite date together? āOur favorite date so far has been our trip to Helen, GA in December. We went to see all the Christmas lights, and coming from Oregon, I had never experienced anything like it. We loved it so much that we plan to return for a few nights after our weddingāthis time as husband and wife.
āWe said yes to The Garden Cottage because it was the most gorgeous venue from the very beginning of my search. The outdoor space is absolutely stunning, and the team has been nothing but kind and wonderful throughout the planning process. Dahlonega is truly my favorite place in Georgia, and we knew it was exactly where we wanted both of our families to come together to celebrate.ā
Itās been an absolute pleasure getting to meet you both and your friends and family. Congratulations! š„
