The weekend before moving from the Washington D.C. area to Omaha, Jacob wanted to plan a fun day in DC to celebrate the last weekend. Jacob planned a full day consisting of Bennett getting her nails done, a winery, site seeing, dinner and a trip to the National Mall at sunset. Stepping out of the car, Jacob was stunned to see thousands of people at the National Mall on a Friday night in the middle of summer. In front of the reflection pool, Jacob romantically said, "I am about to get on one knee, are you going to say yes?" Without hesitation, Bennett said "yes!" On his knee, it felt like half of Washington D.C. gave a round of applause.
