“Confessions of a Future Bride” | Post 2
It’s time for another installment of our new series entitled, “Confessions of a Future Bride!” If you’re new to my blog, this series is for the future brides out there. My assistant, second shooter, & sister in law, Rachel, is engaged to be married and we thought it would be cool to document every step of the planning process. This will be a place where future brides can get some ideas from Rachel as well as Rachel getting some tips or suggestions from you ladies out there!

Today’s post is a special one! Everyone has their “how he proposed” story. Here’s hers:
For time’s sake, let’s fast forward a bit… Like eight years and ten months…
Arthur and I planned a cruise to Bermuda with two of our good friends! Neither of us had ever been on a cruise before, so we were super excited.
So with being together for almost nine years, I was HOPING for a proposal in Bermuda.. What girl wouldn’t, right? Okay, so not that I was snooping or anything… But… I was going through Arthur’s backpack for my book and such while we were on the beach and he didn’t seem to mind. So of course I’m thinking he didn’t bring a ring with him… Bummer. He didn’t seem nervous and wasn’t acting off, so I was thrown off his scent.
We were on the cruise ship for three days before arriving to Bermuda. On our first day, we went to Tobacco Bay in St. George; it was incredible. We went snorkeling and saw some amazing fish, we jumped off a cliff into the water and Arthur got pretty sunburnt…
The second day on the island, we went to Horseshoe Bay. After swimming around in the water for a bit, Arthur and I took a walk through some of the smaller coves. During our exploration, we happened upon a path behind the beaches. Another small path led to a cliff above one of the coves. As we were standing looking over the beach, Arthur got down on one knee and held out the most gorgeous engagement ring {It was exactly what I wanted… Just what I had been hinting at for the past… I don’t know… At least six years}. As much as I was expecting this moment to happen, I was still taken by surprise. I couldn’t remember what his exact words were or my response… It all happened so fast that I forgot if I even said yes or kissed him {Don’t worry, he said I did both}. After waiting all of this time, it was more perfect then I ever could have imagined it would be.
