What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a beautiful and magical wedding. This marriage story actually began when Megan and Thomas were young. Megan and Thomas grew up right across the street from each other on 79th Street in Manhattan. Fast forward and Thomas proposed to Megan by waking her one morning a few days before her birthday with a 9 week old puppy that had a diamond ring on a ribbon tied around it’s neck. And if that’s not romantic enough, they chose the wedding to take place at ‘the most beautiful place we have ever been in our favorite city’, says Megan, the Chateau Vaux le Vicomte in France. From the calligraphy on the save the dates to the breathtaking gardens to the stunning flowers, and with it all ending in fireworks, I hope you love soaking in every detail of this enchanting wedding. -Lynn Butler Beling

(Megan surprised Thomas with a groom’s cake that looked like their puppy, Carlos -the puppy he had surprised her with along with her engagement ring when he proposed.)
