Tanya Callan & Michael Nawyn

SHE SAID YES!

Our Story

On Halloween night in 2015, at Jonny Mac's in Asbury Park, NJ, Tanya and Mike's paths crossed in an unforgettable way. Tanya, dressed as Freddy Krueger, playfully swiped at Mike's pen with her Freddy blade hand as he was signing his receipt. Caught off guard, Mike exclaimed, "I wasn't expecting that," coincidentally the title of the song Tanya had heard while getting ready for their first official date. Curious, Tanya asked if he was dressed as Ron Burgundy, to which Mike responded with a matter-of-fact tone, "Are you an idiot?" Little did they know, this playful encounter would mark the beginning of a unique and spirited connection between two souls destined for a memorable journey together.

In a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie, Mike planned a picture-perfect proposal in the enchanting Christmas Town of Peddler's Village in Pennsylvania. With anticipation, he led Tanya to the center of the village, where a beautifully decorated gazebo awaited them. As the lights twinkled around them, Mike got down on one knee, surprising Tanya with a heartfelt declaration of love and asking "Will you marry me?" Her eyes filled with tears of joy as she said "Yes!" to the man of her dreams. Little did she know, Mike had thought of every detail. A professional photographer discreetly captured the magic of the moment, ensuring that their love-filled memory would be forever preserved. 12.12.21
