The Proposal

In August 2022, Jacob surprised Page with a beach vacation. On their first day, the two admired the sunrise on the beach and had breakfast by the ocean. What followed was a bike ride where Jacob even took Page shopping, treating her to clothes, shoes, and a beautiful limited-edition bag. Jacob suggested to take photos on the beach during sunset, knowing how much she loves to set up her camera to capture those moments. Then, he proposed! Page Jacob Amber Grove

The Unique Element

Page and Jacob had a tree ceremony which included uniting their love by pouring water and soil into the ground at the base of the tree, symbolizing their roots and growth together. “It felt so meaningful to incorporate nature into our celebration. It signifies that just like the tree, your relationship will take root, withstand challenges, and continue to thrive as you both nurture it together.”

The WOW Factor

The couple was overwhelmed by the vast love and support from the guests. During the father-daughter dance, Page and her father surprised everyone with a back-to-back guitar solo to “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses using inflatable guitars! It was a moment that had the guests roaring and definitely a core memory from the wedding day.

Advice To Couples

“My best piece of advice for couples is to remember that everything will come together on your wedding day, even if it doesn’t seem like it at times. Focus on what truly matters to both of you and how you envision your dream day. Don’t forget to enjoy every moment, as it really does fly by! If you’re feeling nervous, just look at your fiancé when you’re walking down the aisle—it helps calm those nerves and reminds you of the love you share.” — Paige
