…But through my laughter, and tears of joy, I said YES!

Tell us about the proposal….

We got engaged on September 16th 2018 when we were half way through a two week vacation in Scotland. Little did Lacey know, during the entire trip, Dan was carrying the ring around in his hiking bag just waiting for the right time to pop the question.

It all happened when we were enjoying a hike up to Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye; a favorite hot spot for tourists due to the layers and layers of small waterfalls. At the start of our hike, the weather was cloudy and raining, but we decided to tough it out. Once the weather started to clear up, we noticed a nice vantage point over a waterfall that was the perfect spot to stop for a great picture!

Dan asked me if I wanted to take a photo, and handed his phone to my sister. I’m glad she was there to be able to capture the proposal. Funniest part about it was, since it just rained – the rocks were a little slick. When Dan went down to get on one knee, he slipped a little and almost went for a swim!!! But through my laughter, and tears of joy, I said YES!!!!

What Was your favorite wedding moment?

My favorite part was getting ready and taking those pictures. It was a special moment for me because seeing Lacey in her wedding dress had been seven years in the making. The feeling was indescribable! My other favorite moment was taking all of the photos. It was a very relaxing time with all of our closest friends and family with us before the craziness of the wedding. -Dan

My favorite part was marring my best friend! I loved how we both wrote a note to each other and stood back to back before we looked at one another for the first time. It was very special. -Lacey

where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went to Sandals Resort on the Island of Grenada, and it was great! The weather was perfect, and the staff couldn’t have been better. We LOVED the resort’s water volleyball net set up. If there was a game going on, you bet we were playing! 

One of our favorite excursions was the dune biggie trip around the island. We saw pretty much the whole island, and even drove on the streets in town! The highlight of that excursion was the last stop at a natural waterfall, on one of the highest points of the island. It was nice to get off of the resort and see what else Grenada had to offer.

Another favorite trip was an afternoon on a snorkeling/catamaran. For that, we sailed over to a special spot where there was an underwater statue exhibit, which also had some of the most colorful fish and sea life we’ve ever seen! Then after the snorkeling, the captain took us to the other side of the island where we had a grilled lobster lunch and waded around on the shore.

how was your experience with allegro?

We thought the experience was great! From the planning process with Dori, where she asked questions to get some back ground on us, helped with setting up our songs, and working with the DJ on the night of our wedding – everything went super smooth.

We appreciated how much Allegro helped us pick out wedding music, and creating a nice flow to the ceremony. DJ Eric was also phenomenal! He played a great mix of all of our favorite types of music and had a good sense about when to slow it down and when to keep the dancing going.

how’s married life going?

We are relaxing now with no extra stress of planning the wedding, and just enjoying life. We are currently looking to buy our first house together… We’ll need one that has a big back yard for our two beautiful dogs.
