A Polynesian Proposal

Our engagement story began in August 2024 when we set off on an unforgettable trip to Moorea, French Polynesia!

Intro

We spent our first day exploring the islands natural beauty before checking into a beautiful villa with lush scenic views.

Our adventures began when we dove the famous Aquarium dive site. The vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters were breathtaking!

At dinner, we experienced an authentic luau and watched an incredible live performance of traditional Polynesian dance (even fire dancing!)

Tiki Village

Spencer proposed on the terrace, under the bright stars of Moorea—It was the most magical moment I could have ever imagined! We spent the rest of the night watching shooting stars.

Under the Stars

The morning after the proposal we enjoyed a lagoon tour, which included snorkeling with stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, fresh ceviche for lunch, and handcrafted hats from coconut leaves!

Lagoon Tour

Whale watching, up close and unforgettable.

A delicious lunch by the lagoon, and breathtaking views from a scenic overlook!

It was an amazing trip full of adventure, love, and memories that we’ll cherish forever!
