We love this Engagement Story from Kiah in our Perfect Wedding Guide Atlanta market; it is an awesome story of love, family and surprises. Here’s what she shared with our Head Over Heels blog team:

Let me just say I knew, but I didn’t know when this moment would come to pass. Anyhow, the Tiller’s take an annual Disney trip during the holiday season to simply get away and enjoy family.

I asked my parents if it was okay for me to go on vacation with the Tiller’s and miss Christmas in Michigan. *Yes, I’m grown, but I still ask my parents for permission* My parents approved and I was super excited to go to Disney since I haven’t been in decades!

OK, you all! I had this brilliant idea of having both the Tiller’s and Douglas’s link up for vacation in Florida. I asked my family to come down to Disney and enjoy some nice weather. And Guess what?! My parents and my sister’s family made arrangements to make the trip. I was thinking wow that was easy!! Little do I know I was being set up.

Korrey asked several weeks before the trip what attractions I wanted to do or see while we were there.

I really didn’t haven’t a preference I was elated to be on vacation for a week. He mentioned he had a friend in Orlando that is a photographer and we could do a photoshoot together. Korrey knows I love being in front of the camera! At first, I said no because I was thinking about a “fitness” photoshoot which I was not in a fitness type of shape at all. The post-competition blues took a hold of me. Lol, Korrey kept pressing this photoshoot and I finally gave in.

The day before the proposal: My dad came into my room and told me how Korrey is a really nice respectable guy and he likes the way he treats me. That’s was great to hear because of my dad thoughts about previous guys……haha

Day of the shoot: My parents, Korrey, and I walked to the resort gym for an a.m. workout. Immediately after the workout, I had to get my belongings together for our photoshoot.

As I am getting my bag packed my mom came into my room and asked what I had in mind to wear for the photo shoot. So I showed a few ideas and she nodded her head and left back out.

Fast forwarded a couple hours:

Korrey & I finally arrived at the Disney Boardwalk and we are ready to shoot. His so-called “photographer friend” Jessica was truly amazing! However, Korrey and Jess never said anything about pass experiences or mentioned anything referencing their friendship. No, biggie! That was the least of my worries we were having a great time.

At the tail end of our photoshoot, I glanced over and I saw some familiar faces dashing across the boardwalk from who knows where. It was that moment when I knew “IT WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN”!

Korrey asked for my hand in marriage when we went to Michigan way back in July. I can’t believe my family knew about this for 7 months!

Way to keep a secret Y’all
