Emma & Lucas

Our Love Story

How We Met

It was a rainy autumn evening in October 2019 at a cozy coffee shop in downtown Portland. Emma was reading her favorite novel when Lucas accidentally spilled his latte. What started as an embarrassing moment turned into hours of conversation and laughter.

The Proposal

Two years later, Lucas planned the perfect surprise. He took Emma back to that same coffee shop where they first met. After a nostalgic walk through their favorite spots, he got down on one knee in the park where they had their first picnic. With the sunset painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, Emma said yes through happy tears.
