Kristen & Garrett in Waitsfield, VT

Garrett proposed to Kristen during Labor Day weekend while the two were visiting his family’s cabin on Harvey’s Lake. Kristen was itching to get back home to Boston to finish some work, but Garrett convinced her to stick it out one more night. During a romantic hike along the trails, Garrett pulled out a picnic blanket, wine, apples, and cheese. Kristen kept herself from blurting out, “What are you going to do -- propose?” But that’s exactly what he did! The Bride Kristen Lyall, 30, epidemiologist The Groom Garrett Dodge, 29, marketing manager The Date September 20 They had met during sophomore year at Middlebury College in Vermont, so it only made sense for Kristen and Garrett to head back to Vermont for their nature-inspired autumn wedding. The couple planned the picturesque affair from their Boston home. They chose the Round Barn Farm and kept the decor simple and cozy with a rich color scheme of chocolate brown, green, and vibrant orange.
