Lindsay and Scott at Oceancliff Part Three

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Trish and Melissa


Now that all that snuggling is over it's time to head downstairs for the super sparkly party.


Ta-da! A winter wonderland.



She was going for a silver and sparkly feel, I think that was acheived!



Beautiful arrangements by Stoneblossom.



Snowflake cake. Mmmmm.



These square wreaths in the background were really fun!



Those little grey fuzzy pom things in the arrangements are so cool!



All of the tables were named after famous Newport landmarks, the photos of each were all snowy scenes, very clever!



The snowflake was a running theme...



Lindsay checking out the ballroom before everyone enters...



I love a vision realized!



How happy and cute are these two?



They look like they are having so much fun.



Too bad Scott is having such a bad time!



These two are really in love, and it shows!







Hold it... hold it....



A perfect ten.



This detail on her dress was so amazing!



Don't you wish your hubby would look at you like this everyday?



Ditto.



Twinkly and romantical.



Wouldn't it be funny if it was an ice cream cake...appropriate but not very practical.



And of course, a beautiful last photo. Trish's signature closer!




Each guest got to take home some beautiful and delicous gingerbread snowflake cookies...

Family and friends, want to see the rest of Lindsay and Scott's photos when they are ready? Click here and register to receive an email.

Outlook is bright as U.S. weather girl accepts boyfriend's surprise proposal live on air

What are you doing here? A forecast on the U.S. Weather Channel is interrupted when presenter Kim Perez's boyfriend steps on to the set


She may have forecast stormy weather but the outlook certainly appears bright for weather girl Kim Perez.

The unsuspecting presenter was describing rainfall in South Florida on the US Weather Channel when her boyfriend walked in front of the camera and proposed.

Policeman Marty Cunningham had clearly prepared for the moment which was accompanied by a soundtrack of tear-jerkers.


Instant atmosphere: A heart appears on the weather map as policeman Marty Cunningham gets on one knee to a Hollywood-style soundtrack


Tear-jerker: Kim holds back tears as Marty asks her to marry him on-air


Happy ending: The couple kiss before a voiceover introduces the football forecast


'You got me': Kim's marriage proposal has become an internet favourite

As he got down on one knee, the words ‘Will you marry me?’ appeared in a heart in place of the America weather map.

The beaming police sergeant said: ‘We've been talking about this for a long time.
‘And I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

'So I'm asking you today, will you please marry me?’
Miss Perez immediately threw her arms around her boyfriend and said: 'I will,' before adding ‘You got me’ and ‘You make me so happy.’

The unconventional proposal has been viewed by hundreds and become an internet favourite.

Miss Perez worked as a weather forecaster in the Air Force before joining the Weather Channel.

Lindsay and Scott at OceanCliff Part Two

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Trish & Melissa



Trish thinks Lindsay looks like a sparkly little snowball against this grey backdrop... she wishes Lindsay walked a little slower for the sake of the photos, but for the sake of frostbite she needed to hurry.




Safe inside... Lindsay is doing a little deep breathing for the nerves...


Big moment #2! Scott sees Lindsay for the first time. Hopefully this is the reaction she was hoping for!






I think so!


Emmanuel Church, so gorgeous!





Such a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony.



It's funny how it really FEELS like winter, so cozy and festive.




The I do's.



They did it!




Love this little series.




A fun and funky little spot. The background looks like a retro- screen. Love it.




The gang.





Everyone looks normal, but it was seriously FREEZING! Thanks ladies!




Love the night time photos... very dramatic, although very cold. Excellent lighting by the fab Melissa.




Mr & Mrs... classic!


Time to head back to Oceancliff. If this isn't the best moody winter photo I don't know what is!




Trish caught this great photo before Lindsay made a dash for it... too cold! Good thing Trish is a quick snapper with nimble fingers!


Warming up a little inside...




Romantical!



Well, pop me in a silver frame and stick me on the mantle!
Having a little fun.




Catching up to the 21st century...




No shortage of romance here.





They'll get back downstairs sooner or later, so stay tuned for the reception!
