A Real Luxury Wedding at the Admiral Room. TIMELESS AND CLASSY. We recently asked this sweet couple some questions about their proposal, engagements season and wedding.
Can you share your proposal story? Was it a surprise?
It was straight out of a dream. We were in Europe on vacation, soaking in the beauty and romance that surrounded us. On the last night of our trip, Andrew surprised me with an exquisite display of flowers, a red carpet, and champagne, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. He dropped to one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was a complete and unforgettable surprise. To make the moment even more special, he flew my parents out to Paris to witness our engagement and arranged for a photographer and videographer to capture every heartfelt detail, so I can relive the joy and love time and again. I said yes through happy tears, and I will forever cherish the memory of saying yes to the love of my life in the City of Love.
What inspired your overall theme or vibe?
We wanted our wedding to be a true reflection of our journey: timeless, romantic, and full of grace. Inspired by the elegance and luxury of Paris, the city where we became engaged, we incorporated subtle Parisian touches to bring a sense of refined charm to our celebration. A palette of soft whites, champagne hues, and delicate black accents set the tone. It created an atmosphere of graceful sophistication while allowing the true focus to remain on our love and the meaningful moments we shared with family and friends.
Why did you choose the Admiral Room?
The Admiral Room felt like the perfect canvas for our celebration. With its soaring ceilings, beautiful architecture, and old-world charm, it captured the exact feeling we were looking for: classic, romantic, and grand without being overwhelming. The moment we stepped inside, we could picture our entire day unfolding there. It felt like us.
Is there a story behind your first dance or parent dance songs?
Our first dance was to “Next to Me” by RÜFÜS DU SOL. We wanted a song with a modern, atmospheric sound that still carried emotional depth. It reflects the calm and strength that come from simply being beside the one you love and beautifully captures the feeling of finding your soulmate. No matter what life brings, we’re at our best when we’re together. Dancing to it on our wedding day was surreal. It brought back every mile we traveled, every choice that brought us closer, and every quiet moment that made us fall in love.
What was the most exciting part about your day?
There were so many unforgettable moments, but one of the most exciting was finally walking down the aisle, locking eyes with Andrew, and feeling the depth of what it meant to be marrying my best friend and true love. That overwhelming rush of joy, love, and gratitude is impossible to put into words. In that instant, the world faded away, leaving only the profound connection and the promise of a lifetime together.
Any suggestions, concerns, or comments you’d like to share?
Our advice is to stay present and enjoy the wedding planning process, even while anticipating some stressful moments along the way. Plan your wedding to reflect who you are as a couple, including your style, values, and the way you want to celebrate. Let your love guide you, and everything else will fall into place. This day is the beginning of a beautiful lifetime together with your soulmate.
