[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The beautiful event design with HMR Designs was a romantic mix of modern coastal elements and old world European vibes, including custom bars, a custom dance floor as well as custom stage backdrop and lighting.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Although they had looked at rings together, Elizabeth did not know that Andrew had ordered it or arranged for pick-up by Elizabeth’s younger sister, Kitty.
Elizabeth’s older sister, Caroline, and brother-in-law, Rhett, wanted to be there for the proposal and drove from Chicago to Connecticut in a day (in the pouring rain, with their two dogs) a couple weeks early than they’d planned to visit to be there for the weekend
Andrew’s initial plan for Saturday was foiled when Elizabeth didn’t want to go walk on the beach because it was overcast, her car didn’t have the right beach permit, and they didn’t have a reservation at the private beach (ha!)
Though Elizabeth knew it was coming at this point, she didn’t think Andrew would ask the next day (Sunday) when he asked at her parent’s club (the same location the wedding was!) while they were walking on the beach
They were able to celebrate with both of their families that day, first with Elizabeth’s in Greenwich and then with Andrew’s as they already had plans to drive to Chatham for Andrew’s birthday, which made the proposal very special[/field]
