Arkansas Bride's very own Allyson Pittman of Little Rock and Arkadelphia native Ryan Gattin will exchange vows Nov. 8, 2014 at Pulaski Heights Methodist Church in Little Rock.
Check out these beautiful natural photos by Kati Mallory Photo & Design and read their sweet engagement story, as told by Allyson:
It was Dec. 21, 2013 and Ryan and I had plans to have dinner with his family as everyone was in town for the Christmas holiday. We had planned on going at a normal dinnertime, so I was laying around napping thinking I had plenty of time to get ready later. Little did I know.
Way too early for dinnertime, Ryan said 'I'm getting bored, let's just go downtown and walk around or something while we wait for my family to get in town.' Mind you - it was pouring rain outside, so taking a walk was not high on my to-do list.
With the rain putting a damper on his plans, we went to the bar at the Capital Hotel and had a drink, instead. We spent an hour or so reminiscing about our favorite moments from the past year together - a hint I should have seen. Once it was time to go meet his family, we walked out to the lobby where their gorgeous, 10-foot tall Christmas tree stood. Ryan pulled me over to the Christmas tree and said, 'So, I've been lying about something'-- obviously not something you want to hear. He explained that we weren't down there to meet his family, then went into a sweet speech that I proceeded to black out during and ended by pulling the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen out of his pocket and kneeling and asking me to marry him.
Little did I know his brother-in-law Ronnie was there the entire time and caught the entire thing on camera. It was the most perfect moment at the most perfect location.
