“Every Saturday morning we walk to Van Vorst Park where they have a farmer’s market. It’s our weekend ritual!”

“The day of the proposal we were walking to the market in the pouring rain and snow, both bundled up and shivering,” says Kayla.

“As soon as we made it to the park, he pulled me away to a quieter spot, got down on one knee and proposed.”

“We loved the outdoor element to the venue,” says Kayla. “Matt and I are big lake people. We loved the open feel to the reception room with all of the windows and love how bright it feels.”

Advice for Other Couples
