It was her first anniversary with Nick, but it also happened to be the day Shannon’s parents were celebrating 35 years together, so all thoughts of their milestone took a backseat…until Nick took her out for a walk and gave her the sweetest gift – a memory book filled with details of their year together. Things saved, moments captured, stories shared – and she wondered…how would he ever top that? And then he did.

The memory book’s last page held a blank for today, and when she arrived at that page, he proposed that “today” start their “forever”

They headed back to the party to find a dual celebration in place!

Next year, they’ll be getting ready for their wedding just feet away from that moment, and I can’t wait to see what their forever holds!

Here’s a little from their time at McKinney Falls State Park…
