Chapel Hill Church Wedding

Chapel Hill Church Wedding.

Tell us about the proposal? In my whole life, I’ve never been truly surprised. I usually catch on before the surprise happens, but on the day that Tyson proposed, I was genuinely shocked. We had talked about getting engaged in the fall of our senior year, and I thought I had the weekend he was going to do it all figured out, but boy was I wrong. On the morning of the first day of class, Tyson called me. He said one of his good friends was proposing to his girlfriend that night on campus and asked if we could go before our dinner for his birthday to take hidden pictures. I am an amateur photographer, so I agreed, but was very nervous to take pictures of such an exciting moment for them. I got all dressed up for dinner, then Tyson and I took off on our secret mission. I had my big camera on my shoulder, and we were walking through the Coker Arboretum on UNC’s campus to get in position for the proposal. We walked up on a clearing, and I saw a green envelope sitting on some steps ahead of us. Tyson insisted I pick it up and read it, and that is the exact second my heart started pounding, and I realized something else entirely different was going on. I read the wonderful note from Tyson about our love story with shaky hands, then Tyson got down on one knee and proposed. It was so perfect, and I loved that it was a real surprise. The best part was that after I said yes, one of our friends popped out of some bushes nearby, and HE was taking hidden pictures of OUR engagement. It was perfectly ironic.
