As soon as Mackenzie’s mom called to tell me about Evan’s proposal plans, I was ON BOARD. You’ll quickly figure out that Evan + Mackenzie love all things Disney — so he chose an Up theme for his backyard proposal. Who doesn’t love a big bunch of rainbow balloons?
While I adore all the thought and detail that went in to the surprise, the thing that I love most was that this was a family affair from the start. From dressing up Mackenzie’s kid sister as a picture-perfect Russell, to the mailbox with handprints, Evan and Mackenzie’s families made sure that everything was just right. And after the shock of the proposal, the whole crew gave Mackenzie a second surprise, pouring out of the house with hugs and champagne to celebrate their engagement.
… and everyone was there to celebrate! I told you it was a family affair!
