CARLY + SEBASTIAN

"On February 27th, 2015, my then boyfriend (now fiancé), Sebastian, took me to San Francisco for a "relaxing weekend getaway”… or so I thought. Little did I know that he had been planning to propose to me for over 6 months and decided to ask me to marry him at Baker Beach, a small beach next to the Golden Gate Bridge. He coordinated the trip and proposal with 23 (to be exact) of our closest friends and family and asked if they would be willing to make the trek to SF to celebrate the engagement with us. I found out later that everyone had been discussing the trip for months without me having the slightest clue. My fiancé had mentioned that he really wanted to go to this beach right next to the bridge because he’d heard from his friend that it had a great view. I had never been to the Golden Gate Bridge so I was thrilled that he knew of a unique spot to go see it. We arrived at the beach and I immediately saw several gorgeous sailboats and the mesmerizing bridge itself. As we walked closer to the bridge to take a picture Sebastian stopped, grabbed my hands, and got down on one knee. I honestly can’t even remember everything he said to me in that moment because I was so shocked and elated but I do remember him asking those four precious words, “will you marry me?” As I said “YES!” and leapt into his arms, my friends and family (all of whom traveled from Southern California and one who even flew in from Virginia) started running towards us cheering. I was extremely shocked and amazed when I realized that every single person who I loved witnessed the proposal. The fact that my fiancé coordinated to have so many people secretly travel hours to surprise me and celebrate with us was overwhelming. My fiancé was so thoughtful and detailed that he even coordinated for a photographer to be there to document the memories. To top the whole thing off, another photographer who happened to be on the beach at the time saw my fiancé proposing, ran over, and took a photo of us using an old Polaroid camera he had with him (photo attached). Sebastian had lunch reservations set for everyone at a beautiful restaurant after we left the beach and then spent the rest of the day together in the City by the Bay. I can absolutely say that I'm the luckiest girl in the world and it was the BEST day of my life. Not to mention the ring is STUNNING!"

Congratulations, Carly & Sebastian! Our team will be contacting you with additional details, and we look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles!
