Stephanie and Quinn met on the campus of Florida A&M University. While love wasn’t on their syllabus from the start, the pair developed a friendship that carried on for years before it blossomed into romance.
After dating for 2 and a half years, Quinn planned the sweetest proposal to Stephanie at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, FL. Quinn with a little assistance from the Ritz’s staff, planned the amazing proposal under a gorgeous gazebo that sat on property in front of family and friends.
Having proposed at the Ritz-Carlton, the couple ultimately decided to share their “I-do’s” at its Buckhead, Atlanta location. Their luxe ceremony, featured a regal color palate of champagnes, deep burgundies and merlots. Along with beautiful hints of teal and a sweetheart table covered in gold-sequins and accented by soft candles.
