It is no secret how much we support same sex wedding rights. In keeping with that spirit, we wanted to introduce our readers to these two amazing women. In advance of their LEGAL New York State nuptials (yay!) -- Randie and Kim sat for a winter engagement sitting at
Full Moon Farm. These two ladies were beaming. However, we can't help but notice that their canine baby Shana might have stolen the show.
This shoot along with their
engagement story was featured on one of our favorite same sex nuptial blogs
SoYoureEngayged.
From Kim : "We were engaged and despite all the pre-engagement talks about how
Randie didn’t want an engagement ring, I knew she was missing out on
half the fun of being engaged by not having one. A month after our
engagement we were driving back from a meeting with a wedding vendor and
I convinced her to stop at the cheesy hibachi restaurant. Over dinner I
said, “You know I really thought you were gonna propose here.” She
said, that that had been the plan, but since I was clearly going to
explode if I had to wait another week, she did it at the farmhouse
instead. I asked how she would have proposed at the restaurant and she
described the entire proposal plan: out in the Japanese Garden by the
waterfall with the thumping sounds of the restaurant’s nightclub in the
distance (seriously I can’t express how amazingly kitchy this place is).
After dinner we walked through the garden to the car and I stopped her
and recreated the proposal as she had explained it over dinner. When I
pulled out her ring, I thought she was gonna fall over. She was totally
surprised and so excited, it turns out she had had wanted a ring
afterall."
Kim and Randie, we are so glad for your happiness and we wish you a lifetime of being awesome.
