Lucas&Helen

Lucas and Helen were first introduced through their mutual friend and Maid of Honor, Alyson, during a Labor Day weekend trip. Helen first attempted to introduce herself while everyone was out tubing, but Lucas claims he never heard her. Helen, on the other hand, was convinced she was being ignored—and needless to say, Lucas didn't make the best first impression!

Luckily, they crossed paths again a week later and had a much better interaction. Helen eventually discovered Lucas's sense of humor, especially when he showed up dressed as Andrew Tate for Halloween. That was when she realized he might actually be pretty funny after all! (There's even a photo to prove it.)

Lucas popped the question while on vacation with Helen's family at the Hazard family beach house in Rockport, Massachusetts. The beach house had always been like a second home to Helen, making it the perfect place for such a special moment.

Earlier that evening, Helen took Lucas out to dinner to celebrate his birthday a week early, since he would be moving to Arizona on his actual birthday. After a lovely meal and a few drinks, Lucas suggested taking a walk around town. Eventually, he steered them toward the old Fudgery at the end of the street. Helen started getting a little suspicious and briefly considered making Lucas stop in every store along the way just to mess with him—but decided to be nice!

Lucas eventually led Helen to the end of Tuna Wharf, where they could take in the ocean views. Before getting down on one knee, he asked Helen to take off her jacket (making sure she was camera-ready, of course!). He then got down on one knee and asked the big question. Helen gleefully said YES!

A place that already held so many special memories for Helen became even more meaningful as the place where they began their forever.
