FIRST DATE to PROPOSAL
First Date 2021
Elizabeth and Chidi’s story is one of my absolute favorites. I had the honor of meeting Elizabeth back in 2021, when she booked her very first picnic with us at Ideal Picnic. We were still new to the business at the time—it was our very first summer here in the DMV area. Elizabeth was planning a picnic for a first date with a special gentleman, and I was excited to help her create a magical experience for them.
That first date was an incredible success, and as fate would have it, about a year later, Chidi reached out to us to plan their fairytale proposal. Being part of their journey—from that very first date to one of the most important moments in their lives—has felt like watching a real-life love story unfold in 4K.
At Ideal Picnic, our mission is to create meaningful moments, whether it’s for a first date, a proposal, or even a wedding. Elizabeth and Chidi’s love story is a perfect reminder of why we do what we do: to craft experiences filled with love, care, and attention to detail.
What started as a simple first date blossomed into a lifetime of memories, and I’m so grateful to have played a part in it. It’s stories like theirs that inspire us every day.
