[field title=”Proposal Story”]One of the first things Isoke and Andre bonded over when they first met was a shared love for Tuscany. Isoke had recently completed a semester long study abroad semester in Siena, Tuscany while Andre speaks fluent Italian and did a short homestay during high school in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany. When it came time to select an engagement location Andre thought it was important to select a venue that could incorporate their love for travel with their shared love for Tuscany. Andre organized a Memorial Day trip to the Finger Lakes where they spent a weekend wine-tasting and enjoying Seneca lake before he popped the question two minutes into their planned photoshoot in the Tuscan-style villa at Geneva On The Lake.
