Eileen & Chris

Monterey, CALIFORNIA

Man, oh man. Chris’ plan was so epic that it entailed months of planning and easily 100 emails between the two of us. Not only was Eileen entirely shocked by the proposal (she was SO unaware that she literally almost walked past him on the beach), but that was just surprise #1! He also secretly arranged for their loved ones from both coasts to fly in and wait for them at a nearby brewery to celebrate! It was an easy secret for me to keep, until Eileen told me, “I wish my dog was here.” I wanted to scream, “You’ll see him in 10 minutes!!!!” Don’t worry, I didn’t; I have a VERY good poker face.
