Hi everyone! Welcome to my first blog post. It’s only fitting that my very first blog post be about my best friend and her FIANCE’S surprise proposal! I first met Lauren through a summer golf tournament when we were in high school. Met her, played 18 holes with her, said goodbye, and 3 years later we were on the same college golf team! It was fate. Also shortly after we started college golf together in Austin, we found out we only live 8 minutes from each other back home in Houston! Her now fiancé, Mason, was also on our college golf team so I became really great friends with both of them.
Back in April when I got a text from Mason that said “What’s up?”…I knew what was up! Then of course he confirmed my suspicions that he was proposing to Lauren. To say I was ecstatic is an understatement. Then he said he was proposing in June. JUNE. How in the world was I supposed to keep this a secret from her for two months?! She’s the first person I go to when I have super exciting news, and now I’m supposed to stay quiet about it! I guess thats how a surprise proposal works. Every time we texted between April and June I felt like she was going to find out somehow. Like she could see it on my face…through text..? I don’t know, I was just nervous, okay!
Fast forward to June 13th, and the day has come. Here I am, squatting behind a bush with my camera and peeking out hoping she doesn’t see me. My legs were shaking so bad I thought every picture would turn out blurry because I couldn’t stay still. I’m getting nervous again just writing this because it’s bringing back all the memories. I can’t even imagine how Mason felt! Thankfully my body didn’t collapse on me and I was able to stand to capture such a special moment for my friends. It’s officially been one month since this day and I’m still just as excited for them as I was on June 13th!
Mason and Lauren, I’m so thankful that I got to take these pictures for y’all and I can’t wait for the wedding!! Love you both.
