How They Met
How does a bluegrass and traditional soul loving girl meet a soft electronic music appreciator? Well, for Charles and Rachel they can thank their mutual friends and co-workers for having brought them together. You never know where you’ll find your other half but we’re happy work brought these two together!

One of our favorite moments with Charles and Rachel was when they both got in the water! I mean you can’t have a summer beach engagement without some H2O! Thankfully, it was summer so the water was perfect to play around in! Who doesn’t love a good splash in ocean during a hot summer day and thankfully they were game for anything!

The Proposal
While walking along the beach on just another normal Wednesday, Charles decided to propose right there and then. Funny enough, he had already planned to propose that very weekend but could no longer wait. So he decided to ask his best friend to marry him while walking along the Virginia Beach Oceanview.
