Is there a better location than the Tidal Basin with blooming cherry blossoms for a surprise proposal?! And on top of the stunning location, this proposal was extra special! The one thing that makes surprise proposals even more exciting is when I personally know the newly engaged couple! And let me tell you- there is no one more deserving of joy, love and happy tears than sweet Alyssa and John! Congratulations to these two!
ALYSSA'S SISTERS EVEN CAME FROM OUT OF TOWN! THEY TRICKED HER INTO GETTING TO THE TIDAL BASIN, JUST TO "GET AN UPDATED SISTER PICTURE". BUT IT WAS ALL A PART OF JOHN'S SECRET PLAN!
AFTER CAPTURING A FEW PHOTOS AT THE TIDAL BASIN, JOHN, ALYSSA AND THE SISTER CREW HOPPED DOWN TO ALEXANDRIA FOR SURPRISE NUMBER 2... BOTH OF THEIR FAMILIES HAD MET TOGETHER AT THE RESTAURANT WHERE JOHN & ALYSSA HAD THEIR FIRST DATE. WHILE I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE SHOCK ON HER FACE FOR THIS SECOND SURPRISE, IT WARMS MY HEART THINKING OF HOW HAPPY THE PARTY WAS!
