Surprise. Patrick called and said he was proposing to Meeghan at the Inn and planning a surprise party. Lizzie, Patrick's sister was the coordinator. Meeghan was dazzled by the crowd, the ring and that big question- Will you marry me? Congratulations to a sparkling couple.  We specialize in romance,
surprise engagement parties and elegant country weddings.
