Brittany + Kyle
A Private Backyard Wedding
Brittany and Kyle’s Backyard Lakeside Wedding
This lakeside wedding day was the most beautiful wedding. The details of the day were impeccable. And joy abounded. Brittany and Kyle threw a party that will be remembered by their friends and family for many years to come.
How They Met
They met in med school. They were at a party together, and Kyle, in an attempt to be funny, called Brittany a nickname she hated. She decided she strongly disliked him. Luckily, he got a second chance when they both wanted to study anatomy with their friend Kevin for their first med school exam.
The Proposal
From Brittany: “I actually had a hunch I was going to be proposed to that weekend. We have very busy and conflicting schedules – so the weekend just made sense. When it got to be Saturday night, I was a little sad because I figured it wasn’t going to happen anymore at that point. We had plans to go over to a friends house for a BBQ. This was a very casual event, and we didn’t need to be on time. So I wanted to go spend some time on our roof before it happened and have a drink.
Kyle was adamant that we had to leave the house because he didn’t want to be late. He ultimately put my hand on his pocket, where I felt a ring box and exclaimed “REALLY?!” I was in such a daze from there on out.
He still drove me to the place where he had planned the proposal and had a romantic dinner planned afterwards. There were some antics along the way – as there always are with us. But It was very special :)”
From Kyle: “I had organized a party at our friend’s house. She didn’t know that it was actually an engagement party. Meanwhile I had made reservations for dinner. Brittany had wanted to have a drink on our roof and show up a little later to the party. In order to get to our dinner reservation on time I had to tell her that we weren’t going to the party.
She had put it together and knew what was happening, and I essentially point-blank said we were going for me to propose. We then went to Reynolda Gardens (a nice arboretum nearby). We walked around there and I started to propose.
Right as I was about to get down on one knee we were interrupted by a staff member at the gardens who told us we had to move because we were technically in a closed off area for a wedding. We then walked to a nearby bench where I finished proposing. We then went to dinner and celebrated with our friends afterwards.”
