Engagement story (please tell us the story of your engagement proposal and your most memorable moments)
I reached out to my future mother-in-law to get some ideas. We contacted The By Gone Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel at Harbor East of Baltimore to share our idea of the wedding proposal. The Four Season were super excited, and very eager to help. We invited our close friends and family. Tiffani thought she was going out to dinner. Everyone gathered outside on the rooftop, it was a beautiful night. They had the fire pits lit and the mood was exactly right. Tiff never saw any of the guests standing behind her. I got down on one knee and started to propose! Tiff said wait what is going on. That is when everyone said surprise. I then asked Tiffani to become my wife. There were tears of joy flowing everywhere. Most memorable part was the look on Tiff’s face.
For the Groom: Walk us through the behind the scenes of creating this special day:
My future mother-in-law Lillie’ann Smith of Lillie’ann Events & Designs is our wedding planner and designer. She wanted us to do something different for our engagement shoot. We decided to go to Philly. We rented an Airbnb pack up our décor and florals. Our photographer and makeup artist were on board to help us. We created two days of magic. It was so much fun being up on the roof top of the building on a perfect sunny day.
