These two are extra special to us because they come from two past couples… Not only is Michael the best friend of Michael (of Nicole and Michael), but Nikki is Jason’s sister (of Dara and Jason).

When it came time for us to discuss locations for their engagement session, there was no other option in their minds than Disney’s Polynesian Resort, where Michael popped the question. It was quite the elaborate set-up involving Michael (our past groom) going to the Polynesian first and lighting candles and hiding out to take photos of the big moment. After a Downtown Disney movie date, Nikki asked to stop at Publix on the way home, but Michael insisted on stopping for a Dole Whip. The last thing Nikki expected was a proposal!

Before popping the question, Michael surprised Nikki with a comic book starring them that he spent hours and hours making. (Photo taken by the talented and stealthy Michael Snead, our past groom whom I hope to trick into joining us at weddings soon…)

The last page of said comic book :

Nikki, you’re gorgeous.

My favorite. :)

Nikki and Michael, we’re so excited for your big day this July!
