Maria + Marc

Maria had been waiting ever so patiently for that little velvet box and that highly anticipated question. When they planned to spend Christmas with Marc’s parents, she knew something had to be happening. Much to her dismay, Marc assured her that the proposal wouldn’t be on the trip and he wanted to propose in their hometown. That seemed realistic for him, so she accepted, decided to focus on family time, and looked forward to a New Years’ proposal instead. Being a spontaneous person, Maria didn’t think anything of it when Marc booked a hotel on Christmas night at the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire. Being that the 26th happened to fall on a Saturday, his family decided to tag along.

When they arrived at the hotel, they got settled before Marc invited Maria to take a walk around the porch, just the two of them. Unfortunately, she turned it down and had her sights on an expresso martini instead. Shortly after, Marc insisted on a walk again and this time, Maria obliged. Thank goodness she did because, during that walk, Marc got down on one knee and asked the question she had been waiting for. She said, “it was the best moment of my life” and needless to say, worth the wait.
