I desperately needed to borrow one.
He says it was love at first sight.
After being a team in work and life for eight years, it was time to make things official.
Then, they planned to enter into their next stage of life as a married couple.
We got engaged on September 13, 2023, just shy of our eight-year anniversary, shares Sadie Mae.
We both started crying as he pulled out the most gorgeous, vintage ring lined with pearls.
The pair actually saw the ring together at the Brooklyn shopFront General Store, and Anthony secretly ordered it.
We could not stop beaming, Sadie remembers.
It wasnt going to be a small celebration, either.
Sadies mom is, luckily for us, a florist and exceptional event thrower, the couple shares.
Both of our parents were very invested and involved every step of the way.
It was practically all any of us could talk about for the 10 months leading up to it.
The to-be-weds also had their community help bring the celebration to life.
The wedding had no dress code apart from wearing semi-practical shoes to account for the grass on the property.
Everyone looked amazing and so completely themselves, which is exactly what we wanted, the couple shares.
However, Sadie Mae and Anthony definitely stepped up their style for their trip down the aisle.
Anthony wore aPradajacket that the couple shopped for together.
We had so much fun trying on dozens of options in the store, says Sadie.
Nearly every jacket they had in stock was carefully considered by him.
The rest of the outfitincluding a custom shirt and pants byJ.
Mueser,Vaqueroboots, and jade cufflinkswas a surprise to the bride.
He loved the process of bringing together his looktimeless, yet wholly him.
Sadie Mae wanted to wear something timeless and vintage for the ceremony.
I combed through the internet for options, but nothing was feeling quite right," explains the bride.
Finding the after-party dress was happily unexpected.
