When Jessica Welborn was in her late teens, her parents purchased property in the exclusive and beautiful Hollister Ranch area. She quickly fell in love with Rancho San Augustine's rustic charm and its picturesque view of the ocean, and she began dreaming about getting married there. When she met Brandt it wasn't long before those dreams started to become a lot more real. Brandt proposed to Jessica while the couple was vacationing in Costa Rica with all of Jessica's immediate family and a few friends. One morning, Brandt and Jessica had planned a stand-up paddle boarding session; while Jessica was still sleeping, Brandt woke up the rest of the family to tell them of his plan to propose, and they managed to capture it on video from the shore while Brandt attempted a proposal in some pretty hectic surf conditions. – By Joshua Brayer
