Real Bride Story- Haley & Kevin

-How did he propose? Kevin proposed on our second day while on a family Alaskan Cruise in Juneau. We had a very quick stop to view a beautiful glacier before whale watching and I was so focused on getting through the hike and not missing the bus, I did not notice everyone strategizing to distract me while Kevin got the ring ready. Even though we were in a group, it was such a special one on one moment for us and the photo backdrop was not half bad either! I am so excited to take our children back to that [...]

Real Bride Story- Ada & Joseph

-How did he propose? Long story short, I was confident that I knew the specific day that Joseph was going to propose because of random "pieces" I kept putting together... but my closest girlfriends eventually convinced me I was wrong & it's hard not to believe what your best friends tell you! So, on the day I originally thought was the proposal day, I took a nap & overslept before going to dinner with some friends. Therefore, my hair was a mess! When I left the house, my mom even asked me "are you sure you don't want to shower?" [...]
