We've decided to start blogging again, and decided to
kick things off with a special post! {Mac + Sam} Same day surprise proposal and wedding...
Surprise proposal, you say? Yes! And a surprise wedding too? Yes!! Read on to find out more about this eventful day!
Many of you may recognize this awesome lad, Mac, as he’s one of my best friend’s & part of the Helo Photography crew. Mac & Sam, met while working at Our Lady Of The Lake University, and both knew early on they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. With Sam’s graduation approaching less than a week away, Mac planned the ultimate surprise proposal & surprise wedding all in one, and managed to make both surprises go off without a hitch.
Mac told both his & her family about the surprise beforehand, and asked if they’d come to her graduation & be there to witness their special day. Every single one of them was faithful & managed to keep the proposal & wedding surprise hidden from Sam the full week leading up to the proposal. Mac’s plan after Sam’s graduation ceremony, was to go to the Japanese Tea Gardens to take some “graduation pictures”, with both families in tow. When it was Mac's turn to take a photo with his lovely soon-to-be-bride he handed the camera to his mom who then pretended to take a "graduation" photo of the pair. Suddenly, Mac dropped down on one knee, and asked Sam to marry him. Sam was completely surprised, and said “yes”, with glee! We couldn’t let Sam see us beforehand, as that would have brought up some suspicion, so as soon as Mac got down on his knee, we rushed across the bridges & staircases like maniacs in order to get close enough to capture the incredible moments unfolding. It was quite the adventure, to say the least!
With full hearts & happy tears rolling down their face, Mac told Sam about his next surprise... That he has a minister ready to marry them right then and there, as long as she was on board with it! After Sam gladly said yes, the minister came out from hiding, and the ceremony began. These two were so madly in love, and their happy tears never stopped for one single moment throughout the whole ceremony.
Sam said she never had the slightest clue of the proposal or surprise wedding. Smooth, Mac, smooth! Props to his family as well, for keeping all the surprises hidden & helping everything turn out so perfect. Both Sam & Mac were completely overjoyed, and we were blessed to witness & capture such incredible moments between two of our best friends. We wish you two a long, happy life together, and thank you for inviting us to share these special moments with you & your families!
