“Let me preface this story by telling you two key pieces of information that will make the proposal moment a little more understandable. 1. Kevin and I do one new thing together each week and we have an ongoing list of the things we want to do and have done. 2. Whenever anyone asks when we are getting married, Kev responds with “ten years from now” (which he always thinks is wildly hilarious). So, one weekend we had plans to go back to our hometown which has “New England in the Fall” written all over it. We made plans to go to a few wineries and after one tasting, we wandered outside to "take cute fall pictures in the vines." Kevin led me to a particular row, which I noticed had a picnic set up a ways down. I looked at him and told him we needed to turn around because someone else's picnic was set up, but he kept insisting that we continue walking. As we got closer, I noticed a sign that read, "Get Engaged: CHECK" and that's when I knew. I immediately yelled, "oh my god!" and turned around to see Kevin reaching for the ring box he had cleverly hidden in his sock. Then, he looked at me and said, “I couldn’t wait ten years,” and got down on one knee.” Photo by @jaci_donahue
