A Magical Dayton Wedding: An Unforgettable Celebration

 

The Proposal:

A Christmas Lights Surprise

 

Sarah and Colin’s love story began years before their wedding day. One of their favorite traditions was visiting the Christmas lights at the Columbus and Cincinnati Zoos. On December 17, 2022, they continued that tradition at the Cincinnati Zoo, but this time, the night held a special surprise. Sarah had planned the outing with friends, and while enjoying the twinkling lights in the bamboo garden, Colin got down on one knee and asked Sarah to marry him. Excitedly, Sarah said yes and celebrated with their friends at dinner at a sushi restaurant.
