Just Engaged: Monica and Will

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

When Monica met Will in an Atlanta restaurant, she just couldn’t stop staring. Curious about the pretty woman watching him walk away, Will walked over and said hello. An awesome relationship soon followed, a highlight being the night he proposed to her high above the city of Atlanta. Now they’re headed to the chapel this October to get hitched. Share in their joy!

Let’s Do This!

“When we’re (finally!) husband and wife, I can’t wait to introduce Will as my husband and hear him refer to me as his wife,” says Monica. “Then I can’t wait to raise children together.”
