Annie + Marshall | Surprise Engagement + Wedding Day

A real SURPRISE engagement! 

Let’s talk about this proposal because it might be one of my favorite stories! When I asked Annie and Marshall about their engagement story, Annie replied, “ I always wanted my proposal to be a complete surprise and that it was!” So let’s get right into it…

The proposal involves everything from Chick-fil-A, to an eager “soon-to-be groom”, to Annie’s living room, and so much more in between. Let’s start at the beginning, June 2nd! Marshall had spent time planning out the perfect proposal! He had talked with Annie’s sisters, family, and friends and the proposal date had been set for June 4th. But, Marshall received a phone call from the jeweler saying the ring was actually ready 2 days early. HE DIDN’T WANT TO WAIT ANY LONGER!! 

Marshall quickly called Annie’s family and told them, “I’M DOING IT RIGHT NOW!” Meanwhile, Annie is at her house hanging out with her sister and, as Annie puts it, “stuffing her face with Chick-fil-A!” (yummy!!) With ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis playing in the background, Marshall entered the house, dropped to one knee, and pulled out the ring asking Annie to marry him! Completely caught off-guard but very excited, Annie said YES!!! 

And the rest was history… the wedding planning began! 

Now let’s talk about their special day…. Annie and Marshall got married on December 4th at Orion Hill in Arlington, TN! The florals were done by Holliday Flowers and they were absolutely gorgeous. Annie’s dress was from Maggie Louise. Her hair was done by Peyton Lacy and makeup was done by Isabella Allen. It’s safe to say that Annie looked absolutely stunning!! The wedding cake was by Gracie’s Cakes and the catering was Draper’s. A group of vendors like these makes for the absolute best day! 

A favorite date night spot for Annie and Marshall is either ordering takeout and watching a movie or enjoying a Dinner at Houston’s! 

Annie and Marshall, we wish you guys the very best and are so thankful that we were able to be such a big part of your special day!!
