We had planned a weekend trip to our favorite getaway Palm Springs and were looking forward to relaxing in the sun with margaritas and plenty of pool time. Eager to start our weekend, we decided to hit the road early. As we were on our way, Alex pointed out that we would be arriving well before our 3PM check-in time for our hotel and suggested we kill a bit of time by stopping at the nearby Moorten Botanical Garden - a beautiful succulent garden he had seen online (Kelly had recently become VERY into succulents for her balcony garden and quickly agreed on the plan). We parked at the garden in the 90+ degree desert weather and Kelly thought it was odd that Alex insisted on wearing his bulky trench coat. We wandered through the garden around giant 20 ft cacti until we spotted a gorgeous domed greenhouse. Kelly went one way and Alex walked around the other, until the path looped around and he stood in front of Kelly and reached into his bulky trench coat pocket which disguised an engagement ring. Alex got down on one knee and said some of the sweetest words to Kelly (but now if you ask us what he said exactly we'll tell you we both blacked out from nervousness and excitement). Kelly quickly said a big "YES!" We became engaged, had a super fun weekend, and have been celebrating ever since!
