How it happened...
It all started at 9am when Carla Davis, brides mother, walked into the living room as Natasha was on her laptop doing some early Pinteresting. Carla handed Natasha an orange envelope and asked for her cell phone, then walked away. Confused, Natasha opened the letter and read what it said. As she read it, tears of joy immediately started rolling down her face. She knew this was going to be one of the most magical days of her life. A day she had been dreaming of her whole life.
The letter told Natasha that her ride would be here at 10am, she had an hour to get ready and reminded her that it wouldn't take her that long because she is already beautiful. As Natasha got ready questions started flooding her head: "Who is picking me up?" "How is this day going to unfold?" "Where is the proposal going to happen?" She was so excited and got ready with butterflies flying around in her stomach. Once Natasha was ready for this special day, she snapped a few pictures to remember this happy moment.
At 10am, Kurt Pettay, Natasha's best friend, rolled into her driveway to take her away. Natasha was in such shock that she was rather speechless and didn't know what to say. As Kurt drove away, he came to the first stop. Indigo Lakes Clubhouse: the spot Nick and Natasha met. At this stop Rachel and Stephen, our matchmakers and best friends, were there waiting for Natasha. She got out and they handed her the next orange envelope. This letter told Natasha about the day they met and how lucky of a guy Nick was. Once Natasha read the note, she hugged Rachel and Stephen and got back into the car.
The next stop was Gulf Coast Highschool: Nick and Natasha's highschool. At this stop was Natasha's life long friend Megan, her husband and their daughter, Natasha's future flower girl, Rylee. This stop had a lot of crying because of how happy Natasha was to see Megan. The next note was given and it took Natasha on a trip down memory lane. The care-free highschool days and reminded her of how much fun they had being goofy teenagers. Natasha said her goodbyes and got back into the car.
The next stop was at Barefoot Beach: the beach Natasha grew up on. At this stop Natasha was shocked to see some friends from Tampa who had come down to surprise her. Michael, Melanie and Tyler had driven down to be apart of this special day and Natasha couldn't believe it. At this stop, Tyler had to stall to make sure everyone was ready for the finale and to do so, he told Natasha he buried the next orange envelope and she had to dig and find it. Natasha started walking around and was deciding where to dig and just as she was about to, he stopped her and said he was kidding. He handed her the next letter and it told Natasha that since on the scavenger hunt, he couldn't bring her to Tampa, so he brought Tampa to her. It discussed their wonderful life inTampa and how they have loved living together.
As the next stop approach and Kurt pulled the car into Barefoot Beach, Natasha knew deep down what was going to happen, it was going to happen at her old house, the house where her stepfather passed away, the house that held all her childhood memories, the house that was her life. As Kurt pulled into Southport Cove, Natasha's neighborhood within Barefoot, her tears fell uncontrollably. Then Kurt pulled into the driveway and got out to get the door for her. He stood her up and she couldn't move. She was crying, shaking, and literally couldn't move.

Once Natasha lifted up her head...she was greeted with the biggest smile, most genuine tears, and biggest hug of her life. By her mother. Carla handed Natasha her last orange envelope, which told Natasha how happy she made him and how he will always be there in the end for her...
After Natasha read the last note, she looked up and couldn't believe her eyes. All her friends and family had come to share this special day with her. There stood her best friend, her closest friends, her brother-in-law, her sister-in-law, and her brother, Chad.
As Natasha made her way down the white board, she stepped off and made her way for the dock. Once she had reached the dock, there stood her best friend, her other half, the man of her dreams at the end waiting for her.
Natasha made her way down the dock and there Nick told her how he amazing of a woman she was and that he could not imagine life without her. He then got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said yes and the rest will go down as history!
