Tyler & Jordan’s Greywacke Wedding

Our Engagement Story

We travelled to Asheville, NC with a few friends for a long weekend of sightseeing and brewery tours. Jordan had planned on proposing on a hiking trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but the weather in NC mid-January was so frigid that the road to the hiking trail was closed. He came up with a backup plan on the spot, finding a small waterfall in a national park close by. We arrived and made our way down the icy steps to the bottom of the falls, which is where he popped the question.
