How Michael Proposed

Michael and Claudia had a trip planned to Lido Key FL on June 1, 2021. Michael had been acting weird the day they flew down and Claudia chalked it up to him being tired from getting to the airport early. Once they got to the pool, Michael kept reitorating how he wanted to go to the beach at 6 before the 7 dinner reservation he made a month prior. As they walked along the beach, Michael got down on one knee and asked Claudia to marry him. They both blacked out and don't remember what was said but Claudia said YES! Afterwards, they facetimed with family and friends and went to dinner at Tommy Bahama in St. Armonds Circle to celebrate. They got to enjoy their week in FL being newly engaged and calling each other "fiancé".
