Say hello to the cutest Disney proposal ever… this Groom asked his Bride to be his forever in front of Cinderella’s Castle, while they were dressed up as, wait for it, Mary Poppins and Bert! I can feel the hearts popping right out of eyes over that one. It’s these kinds of love stories that make me love logging onto SMP every single day. The wedding that followed that sweet proposal is a Southern soiree planned by Intrigue Design & Events and snapped up by Simply Sarah, dripping in elegance. It’s practically perfect in every way, wink, wink.
From the Bride, Makenzie… Taylor and I were both living in Athens, GA for school when we met one night downtown at a bar. He asked me out on a date the very next day and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I remember thinking early on in our relationship that this was the man that I was going to marry. Fast forward two years later and Taylor surprised me with a trip to Disney World so that we could go to the Halloween party. He proposed to me in front of Cinderella’s Castle while we were dressed up as Mary Poppins and Bert.
I drew a lot of my inspiration from the venue itself and the beautiful outdoor area. Coastal South Carolina does outdoor weddings so well and Oldfield was stunning, it was fate! I’m a sucker for big trees with hanging moss so I knew when I saw the venue that we had to get married outside. I wanted the style to be soft and romantic – and to have a garden party feel.
One of our favorite moments from our wedding day was having our first look. Not only did we love getting to see each other all dressed up but it was also the first moment we were able to truly be in the moment and enjoy ourselves. When I saw Taylor, it made me forget about every worry. I was instantly calm and it made me realize how insanely happy I was to get to marry my best friend.
We would HIGHLY recommend Simply Sarah to other couples! We had the honor of having Sarah as our photographer and her husband, Will, as our second shooter. They are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet! Sarah immediately makes you feel at ease and you will have one less thing to worry about if you hire her. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She is professional, efficient, friendly and extremely talented! What I love most about her, is her attention to detail. Sarah is a great person to have as part of your special day and is clearly so passionate about what she does.
