BHLDN Weddings: Oak & Kunche
A LOVE STORY
Oak and KunChe first met at art school in southern California. He asked her to collaborate on a comic book with him; she considered it. Seven years later at a playground in Berlin, when KunChe felt it was the right moment, he extended this simple request: "Will you share the cane with me when we get old?" She said yes!

BHLDN Weddings: Mary & Tim
A LOVE STORY At the tail end of a conversation (and a glass of champagne) during an after-work gathering, Tim asked Mary on a first date. Three years later, certain that Mary was the one, Tim flew halfway across Australia to ask her father in person for his blessing. He managed all of this rather covertly, too, explaining his absence as 'work-related' and ringing her father just an hour outside of Mary's family farm from a rental car. Her father cancelled his golf plans for the day, welcomed Tim, and the rest is history. Mary still had no idea until a few months later when, while visiting her family again, Tim stole a moment for the two of them beside apricot trees and asked her to marry him.

FAMILY AFFAIR Despite holding their event relatively far from most of their family, the couple was especially touched that nearly everyone made the journey. Mary's parents' farm again provided the scenic backdrop. Her nieces and nephews, thrilled to play a role, strolled down the aisle as flower girls and ring bearers. Her mom cooked up apricot jam made from her own orchard as wedding favors, bundled each of the white rose bouquets herself, and baked the wedding cake, too! And for Mary's something borrowed, Tim's family lent her a necklace treasured by their family for generations.
BHLDN Weddings: Elisabeth & Peter
THE ENGAGEMENT Feverish and exhausted at 4am on Christmas Eve morning, Elisabeth couldn’t have imagined she was about to have her most memorable Christmas yet. The pair had just returned home from a holiday party at her family’s house, when Peter asked coyly if she felt too tired to open her gift. ‘Of course not!’ was her reply, as she followed him eagerly to their Christmas tree. With eyes closed tight, she felt as he lowered to one knee, her hand in his, and seconds later ‘Will you be my wife?’ Peter asked. Without hesitation, she exclaimed ‘YES!’
