Let me just start out by saying that these two are adorable. They have the sweetest love story (high school sweethearts), most amazing proposal (Paris) and jaunted around the city streets of NYC for one incredible engagement session. In other words? They are basically perfection. See their gorgeous images captured by Alicia Swedenborg right here.
From the Bride…Matt and I met during freshman year of high school through mutual friends. Our friendship blossomed sophomore year when we were on the tennis team together and sat next to each other in History class. In class, we passed notes instead of learning about history. I blame Matt for my lack of knowledge on the French Revolution. We started dating two weeks after my 16th birthday and have been inseparable ever since.
Matt proposed last September in Paris. It was early in the morning the second day of our trip when we went on a run through the Jardin des Tuileries. I stopped to admire the beautiful garden and commented about how romantic and secluded it was so early in the morning. I even teased Matt and said, “Bet you wish you would’ve brought a ring!” He laughed and we continued on through the garden. When I stopped again to take a few pictures Matt surprised me and said, “Actually I did bring a ring…” I turned around to see him down on his knee with a beautiful ring in his hands. Then he asked me the most important question of both of our lives. For the rest of our trip I got to use my new favorite French word fiancé!
