Ladies and gents, we have something super special today! We’ve been blogging inspiration and ideas for DC, MD and VA engaged couples for almost a month now. And, now we want to know where you met! That’s right, we want to know where you and your love fell in love. Keep reading for more details (I promise, we aren’t crazy!).
Paloma’s Nest is a collection of bowls, tiles, ornaments and decorative heirlooms for just about any occasion. They are the creator of the original ring bearer bowl. (The photos of a little guy walking one of their bowls down an aisle is just about the cutest thing you’ve seen!)
Paloma’s Nest recently launched a new collection of “Where We Met” maps. It is a white clay geography-inspired ornament that is hand stamped with a heart in any location. This is a perfect something special for your partner to commemorate where you two met or fell in love.

Wouldn’t one of these maps make a great present for your love? I could go and on about how awesome their heirloom pieces are (I’m looking at my “Good Egg” right now as I write this!) and the incredible packaging that each piece come in, and how sweet owner/artist, Caroline, is, but I’ll spare you and get to the good stuff!
One lucky United With Love reader will win one custom “Where We Met” ornament map from Paloma’s Nest. To enter to win, leave a comment on this post with the information needed to create your custom heirloom map. (Using the picture above as a guide, please include names, date and the location of where you and your betrothed met or fell in love.) One winner will be selected randomly and be announced on Friday.

We are both originally from Arkansas but met at a happy hour at Hotel Monaco’s Poste. I always joke that I moved 1,000 miles away from my home state to meet a boy who lived 40 minutes from my parents. But, it was worth it…
