There are moments in life that take us completely by surprise, and for Ciara, one of those moments came when Mickie proposed to her at The Christmas Inn in Pigeon Forge. It was a proposal filled with thoughtfulness, love, and a little bit of holiday magic—a perfect reflection of Mickie’s careful planning and the couple’s special bond.

Mickie had spent weeks preparing for this moment, and he didn’t leave a single detail to chance. He chose The Christmas Inn, a place brimming with holiday charm and festive cheer, as the perfect backdrop for his proposal. The warm glow of Christmas lights, the sweet scent of pine, and the cozy atmosphere of the Inn all set the stage for what would be an unforgettable moment.

Mickie’s plan was simple, yet brilliant. He placed an ornament on the lobby tree that read “Engaged 2024.” The ornament blended in perfectly with the other decorations, a subtle yet meaningful detail. When Ciara saw the ornament, she admired it without realizing that it was a sign of what was to come. As she focused on the tree, Mickie got down on one knee, ready to ask the question that would change their lives forever.

When Ciara turned around, there he was—Mickie, holding out the ring, with a look of pure love and anticipation on his face. The shock on her face was priceless. Her emotions shifted from disbelief to pure joy in the blink of an eye, and her expression was a beautiful mix of surprise, happiness, and the realization of what was happening. It was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still, and the love between them was palpable.

Ciara, of course, said yes, and the moment was filled with applause and cheers from the people around them. But that was just the beginning of their celebration. We then explored the rest of the Christmas Inn property, taking photos that captured the joy of the moment. Ciara couldn’t contain her excitement, and everywhere we went, she was eager to share her news. Whether it was with the staff, fellow guests, or even strangers, she proudly announced her engagement to everyone she met. Her joy was infectious, and it was clear that this was a day she would never forget.

As we walked around the property, the couple’s love and excitement filled the air. From the cozy nooks of the Inn to the festive outdoor lights, every corner offered another beautiful backdrop for photos. Mickie and Ciara’s chemistry was undeniable, and it was a joy to capture the love and happiness they shared in such a magical setting.

Ciara’s beaming smile and Mickie’s proud look as they embraced their new chapter together were the perfect conclusion to an already unforgettable day. This proposal wasn’t just about a ring and a question—it was about two people who are meant to be together, sharing a life filled with love, joy, and excitement for the future.

Mickie, your thoughtfulness in planning every detail of this proposal was incredible, and Ciara, your joy and excitement were contagious. Congratulations to both of you! I’m so honored to have been there to capture this beautiful moment in your love story. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and love!
