Denver Union Station Engagement Proposal | Jackie and Brian's Proposal

On Saturday March 12th (St. Patrick's Day Celebration Day in Denver) Brian surprised his girlfriend Jackie with one of their traditional monthly "day date's " together.  They started the morning by getting coffee downtown Denver and then taking a walk through the new Union Station.  On their way through making their way to the Millenium bridge and Confluence Park Brian got down on one knee and asked Jackie for her hand in marriage.  After sharing some tears, laughs and hugs together they continued their walk through downtown and on their way to the second part of their date to Avanti.  It was here at Avanti where the full extent of Brian's planning came to fruition.  Waiting at Avanti to surprise Jackie was her entire family  as well as her girlfriends who flew in from Guadalajara, Mexico and Chicago, IL respectively.  Needless to say Jackie was definitely surprised and the smile never left her face the rest of the afternoon.  It truly was a special day and I was honored to be able to watch it unfold and capture it for them.  Congratulations Jackie and Brian!

How did you meet each other? We met working at an outdoor science school in the woods of Southern California.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? This is really hard, getting married was absolutely amazing. Dan's favorite memory was just after the ceremony was done and we were officially married. Well that, or getting lifted in the chairs. Michelle's favorite memory was sitting down for dinner together, looking around and seeing all of our friends and family. But really the whole day was unforgettable.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Don't worry about the food too much, your not going to eat it. The people you invited, your friends and family, are the most important part of the wedding day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed.  Would you recommend to other couples?

We went to Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.  The whole trip was amazing, but the highlights included snorkeling, whale watching, a helicopter tour, mountain biking down a 11,000 foot volcano, driving convertibles, seeing the glow of lava at night, and just general hiking and exploring the beaches and jungle.

We also went to the South island of New Zealand where we kayaked, saw dolphins jump and fur seals play, saw numerous glaciers and fjords, went backpacking, canyoneering, mountain biking, caving, and wine and beer tasting.

We stayed mostly in vacation rentals in Hawaii and then rented a campervan for New Zealand. Definitely would recommend both places for a honeymoon
