Surprise Rooftop Proposal

When we found out that Kaitlin Lopez of La Fete Weddings got engaged recently we knew that there would be an extra cute proposal story…and of course pics!  Who better to describe the day than Kaitlin herself…

“On Saturday March 30th, Andrew decided we were going skydiving… Yes. Skydiving. I was a little bit nervous when he brought it up about a week before, and then when he said he had booked the tickets I tried to avoid thinking about it. So when Saturday morning arrived we drove up to Lompoc and jumped out of a plane at 13,000 feet… No big deal right? It was incredible! I still can’t believe we did it, but I would do a 100 more times!

When we got back to Santa Barbara Andrew suggested that we go grab drinks somewhere. He said he wanted some alone time since our families were both in town and we would be with them for the rest of the weekend. He had been wanting to go to the new El Encanto because he had heard my mom and I talking about how beautiful it was. So we went to grab a drink and walk around the property. Then I suggested we go upstairs to my favorite spot… The Channel Islands Terrace where I was completely taken by surprise! I saw my FAVORITE linen set up on a gorgeous table and that is when Andrew got down on one knee.

We spent about 2 hours on that terrace enjoying the incredible view, sipping champagne and of course eating cheese- my favorite thing. He told me we had plans with our family for dinner around 6:30 and we needed to meet at my parents house. When we got there I was surprised again by about 60 of our closest friends! He even flew in one of my best friends from New York to be there! I have to say this was the most incredible day of my life, to have all of our friends from LA and Santa Barbara in one room celebrating together was the perfect way to end such a spectacular day.”
