Natural Bridge Virginia is located between Lexington VA and Roanoke VA in the Shenandoah Valley and is only 15 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is where I met my husband, then fiance 3 months before the wedding date to give him my engagement ring so he could have the jeweler make a wedding band to match.
(He lived in PA and I lived in NC until we got married)
If you ever get a chance to visit, I recommend you take the full tour including going into the caves (which depends on the time of year if they are open)
Of course, I had to get a picture of him. Even though I knew he would be putting that ring back on my finger with a commitment of forever, I didn’t like that I was giving it back to him, so often I would tell him, “You will have to fight me for this ring” and he would just laugh.
