The Story

Why Charlotte & AJ’s Wedding Anniversary Is April 23rd

The inevitable conclusion to Charlotte and AJ dating? Getting married, of course.

She wore her first engagement ring for about 3 minutes. Just long enough for me to snap a picture.

There was a more formal ask later.

Charlotte had an aquamarine stone from a ring she had purchased years earlier. As her birthstone, she wanted it to be a part of her new engagement ring.

Add a few diamonds and a trip to the jewelry store to pick it up and it was formalized.

But, setting the date?

4/1 was the initial decision. But we were worried none of our friends would believe us. So, nope, not on April Fools’ Day.

Then Charlotte says, “April 23rd because that’s National Lover’s Day!”

Hmmmm.…

Also turns out that it’s ALSO National Take a Chance Day. A day meant to inspire people to step out of their comfort zones.

I said “I’m In.”

A Bohemian Wedding
