The year was all about COVID-19 and every year we go to the Jefferson to see the Christmas Tree. If you don't know Ali, she is obsessed with Christmas and Christmas Tree's, so Graham knew right away this would be the perfect place to pop the question. Well it would not be normal if chaos did not ensue right before. Graham had a Covid scare at work and as he was on his way to Fredericksburg to get his test, the Jefferson Hotel called him and said his plan to propose by the tree was not going to work, our family and friends could not come or take pictures without having a reservation and he had to figure something else out. Just incase we forgot to tell you, this was two days before. Graham immediately called Ali's older sister Molly to devise a new plan. Grahams mom drove down to Richmond the day of the proposal to drop off the ornament that said "Will You Marry Me?" at the Jefferson (luckily they let her in). That night, we went to the Jefferson and looked at the tree while enjoying our Christmas cocktails. We then went to have dinner and the whole night was just perfect. We ordered a dessert and all of a sudden the waiter comes out with a a tray that has a cover on it, they open it up and there sits the Christmas Ornament. Graham quickly gets on one knee and proposes! After all the mishaps and confusion, it was absolutely perfect! A bottle of Champagne was brought to our table that our family had purchased for us and we were able to finally celebrate. After dinner we arrived home and were able to Facetime our parents who were eagerly awaiting our call at 10:30pm. Graham's phone was also blowing up, all of our friends were texting him saying "did you do it yet?" and we were finally able to Facetime and call everyone! Unfortunately, due to covid and the holidays we were not able to celebrate with everyone right away, but our amazing friends dropped off Champagne and had flowers delivered. We were and are so grateful for all the love and support from everyone!
