This super dreamy orange county engagement session on our wedding blog today shares the story of a beautiful couple and their fluffy dog. The upcoming nuptials of this duo are much awaited after a long long distance relationship. Their blue duds and wilderness park setting resemble their casual first meeting and the way they fell so easily for one another. Just listen to these sweet words from Monica, the bride-to-be and oogle at Kylie Chevalier‘s stunning photos!
I didn’t have to venture out very far to meet my fiancé… he knocked on my front door and I was lucky enough to be there to answer. Our story begins 4 years ago. I was living in Newport Beach with my roommate Pearl, whom I had no idea had been friends with Todd since junior high. One night Pearl, Todd, and some friends were getting together to hang out. Todd came by to pick Pearl up and when he came to the door she was upstairs getting ready so I answered. That moment was the beginning of our lives together. We ended up hanging out and really hitting it off that night. His genuine charm and kind-hearted nature sparked my interest in wanting to get to know him better. One little obstacle though; he was living in Olympia, Washington for work. We kept in touch and started dating long distance, and this is how it was for two whole years. We talked on the phone every night, and made a point to see each other every couple of months. We took vacations to Kauai, Maui, San Diego, Vegas, and Mexico. The beginning of 2014 Todd was able to move back to Orange County, we decided to move in together, and Todd became an instant dog parent to my dog Blue. By November we were engaged! Todd proposed to me on the beach, during our vacation to Kauai; our first vacation spot together four years earlier. We have come a long way and look forward to the next chapter of our lives together. I am so grateful for the moment we met, to have built a strong foundation for a lifelong relationship together, and to have found true love.
What an amazing love story!!
