Tabitha and Jude were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Mountain Playhouse! But what was even more remarkable than their wedding day, were the circumstances leading up to the proposal! Kara Abbey Photography, who captured their fairy tale, shared with us a little bit of their story…
“Jude and Tabitha had been together for over 3 years. But, before you start thinking, ‘Yep, a proposal around this time sounds about right,’ let me back up a bit. You see, back at the very beginning of their relationship, Jude had drawn a line in the sand with Tabitha. He had very very seriously explained to her that he would never, ever get married. And he was so serious that any thoughts of a diamond ring, a romantic proposal, and a fairy tale wedding were all banished from Tabitha’s mind.
But, this is a wedding post – so you already know that somewhere along the line, at some point over the last 3 years, Jude’s mind began to change. It wasn’t an overnight change, but slowly he began to actually contemplate proposing to Tabitha. And in the summer of 2019, he officially changed his mind, and ordered an engagement ring.
After about a week, the ring came in and Jude was so excited that he simply had to propose – and right away. He suggested to Tabitha that they take a ride up to Lake Erie – which is famous for having some of the very best sunsets in the entire country. He made them dinner reservations and before dinner, Jude took Tabitha for a walk along the beach – just as the sun was setting.
They walked & talked and after they had strolled quite a way, Jude suggested that they turn around so that they could get to their dinner reservation in time. Tabitha agreed, and as she turned to walk back, she heard Jude say one more thing, ‘I just have one more question for you before we go.’ Slightly confused, she turned back around to find Jude down on one knee with a shiny diamond ring in his fingers.
Tabitha came right to the brink of passing out. She was so shocked & stunned & surprised. After being told so emphatically that he would never ever get married – here he was proposing that they get married. Overjoyed, speechless, and absolutely thrilled, she said yes!”
And for all of the most magical moments from their day, here is the wonderful work of Kara Abbey Photography….
