A Surprise Proposal | Wes & Jessica

Planning a proposal takes a lot of time and planning!! You want it to be memorable, intimate, and perfect. Ā Planning one in a city that you aren’t familiar with can make things challenging. Ā Wes did his research though and everything was absolutely perfect!

Wes began planning his proposal to Jessica months ago. Ā In OctoberĀ heĀ surprised her with tickets to a concert in Norfolk in March. Ā Not long after giving her the tickets he knew he was ready to propose and decided to make a weekend out of their trip. Ā When he called me to talk about his plans it was hard not to be just giddy with excitement! This was a first for me! We talked about where they were staying and came up with the Pagoda Gardens a the perfect spot for him to drop to one knee. Ā I had a feeling it wouldn’t be very crowded and it’s a beautifulĀ location!

Wes and Jessica work at the same hospital in North Carolina and that’s where they met. Ā Wes works in the Emergency Department and she occasionally got assigned to his department. Ā One day Wes was 10 hours into a 12 hour shift when he walked by Jessica, and being the kind gentleman he is, he asked her if she needed anything. Ā Jessica told him about her day and that she had not had anything to eat all day. Naturally, Wes felt terrible and of course offered her something. Ā A drink was all she requested. Ā But – going back to the kind gentleman – he brought her back a drink and a cheeseburger! That left quite and impression on Jessica, and Wes remembers the way she looked at him at that moment

I arrived at Pagoda and scoped out the perfect spot for Wes to get down on one knee. Ā I drew a pink heart on a brick and quickly shot him a text tell him where to go. Then I waited. Ā And waited. Ā I was SO excited! Then they finally arrived!! They walked by as I hid behind a tree. Ā I watched them hold hands and smile at each other. Ā Jessica said she is used to Wes saying sweet things to her so as he was talking she had no clue what was coming. Ā When he got down on one knee she was in shock! She couldn’t believe he got on over on her! Wes said he was incredibly nervous but could not have been happier! After she said yes, and they kissed and hugged, Wes pointed me out to Jessica. Ā Another surprise!

Wes and Jessica are so excited to spend their lives together! They are currently building a home in North Carolina where theirĀ five children will live with them – she has girls and he has boys! From just the short amount of time I spent with them I can tell they are going to be SO happy!!

Congratulations to you both!! Thank you for allowing me to be part of a special day for you two!! Best wishes for a happy future!!
