When Natalie told me she was working on a wedding proposal for a lucky lady I could hardly contain my excitement… Now contrary to most clients, I didn’t get to have any initial prior contact with Rafael, or Brina as they were both in Spain and Rafael had a hard time multitasking between planning the proposal in Samui and keeping it a surprise from Brina!
On the evening of the big surprise Natalie, Ad and I all huddled up at the Hansar bar… and I must admit the adrenaline made me feel like I was a spy… Especially when Brina and Rafael arrived early and got a drink at the bar right opposite us before they went to sit down at dinner! haha 😉
I got some photographs of the beautiful setup Natalie and Rafael had prepared… gorgeous roses and orchids everywhere, candles on the table and in the sand, torches to light the way… What girl would not squeal at the sweetness of it… 🙂
The holes in the sand for the candles were in heart shapes! <3 <3 <3
GAH… just look at that! Such a gorgeous setting!
At seven, Rafael took Brina to sit down to ‘dinner’, and they enjoyed a lovely first course of soup… and once their plates were cleared -boof- this waterfall of light started going off! At first Brina was unsure what or who it was for and turned to look left and right to see if someone was getting proposed to or if it was just a really special hotel firework display 🙂
Annnd I think this was about the moment when Rafael started telling her what he’d had planned for weeks…
Clearly Brina was just as ecstatic as he was!
Ohh, and I forgot to mention one tiny detail. When the waterfall of lights ran out, the words “Marry Me?” in fireworks lit up behind Rafael…
How adorable is that?!
