The Proposal

Peyton and Dan met in Daytona, Florida during spring break in 2017. They both attended James Madison University. Peyton was immediately enamored with his friendliness, out-going nature, and goofiness. “Specifically, his impressions and accents.” Their time together has always been special and exciting, even while they were long-distance.

The Major family had the privilege of really getting to know Dan during quarantine and it brought the two’s relationship to the next level. During this time, they bought their first home, Dan started his business venture, and Peyton started postgrad life working at her own start-up, and of course, they got engaged!

They got engaged in August 2021 in the Bahamas in the Versailles Gardens. Dan knows Peyton has a love for classical antiquity and art history and this was mirrored in planning a special location to propose.

The Wedding

The day was filled with glamour, romance, and energy! “Unique touches like our custom logo demonstrated our love for equestrian hunt country and the place that we spent years together growing.” The Model A Ford was donated and transformed into a whiskey bar by Peyton’s grandfather, Lew Parker, owner and founder of Willowcroft Winery, the first vineyard in Loudoun County.

Peyton wore her mom’s lucky penny in her shoe, the same one her mom wore for her wedding. She also fastened the blue sapphire to her bouquet Peyton’s dad gave her mom for their first anniversary.

The opulent floral design was executed beautifully and transformed the modern barn to a vintage floral vision with Swarovski chandeliers and greenery alike hanging from the rafters.

Peyton and her Dad took weeks of dancing lessons so they could nail the Father Daughter Dance. The dance started with a traditional “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw and then transitioned into a modern pop choreography by Usher, “Yeah!” The rest of the night was a blur of charisma, song, dance, and excitement until the early hours of the morning.

Their wedding day was filled with glamour, romance and energy.
