Finding out that your job is sending you for a week-long class in Six Sigma isn’t usually a cause for jubilation, but for Jen & Charles it quickly became a part of their love story. After learning that their mutual employer would be requiring them to sit through the same off-site course, Jen and a friend decided to carpool with Charles and one of his friends. The morning pick-up arrangements worked out in such a way the Charles & Jen were buckled up next to each other in the backseat, allowing for that crucial first introduction. And then once they arrived and began to select seats for class that day, they ended up next to each other once again.

When the class was over and work brought them back to their home building, Jen began to see Charles a lot more frequently around the office… despite the fact that he worked on the opposite side of the building. It wasn’t too long after that he worked up the courage to ask her to accompany him to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, and it wasn’t much longer after THAT that he knew he was in deep. So Charles brought Jen to the Jefferson Memorial, knowing with her love of all things TJ that she’d appreciate the location, and got down on one knee in view of hundreds of tourists to ask Jen to be his.

Charles and Jen, I had so much fun with you both in DC! Thank you both for being so flexible, and I think we can all agree that the third time was definitely the charm. I had no idea the Memorial was so perfectly lit in the evening- you may have turned me on to a new favorite shooting spot! I can’t WAIT to see you again in just a few short weeks for your wedding :).

Favorite!

Happy Tuesday!
