12.22.21 A Palindrome, a date that is the same backward/forward, without end, like a ring. Clint chose this date as a representation of that lack of ending, like love. Plus it was their 3.5 year anniversary for extra meaning. He treated Brianne to some of her favorite things and places around town before culminating in a walk around Elizabeth park with Rodney. She could tell he was getting nervous as he was uncharacteristically quiet the closer they got to the gazebo in the center of the rose garden, decked out in lights she thought were just for Christmas, but were actually set up for them. With Brianne's sister there to capture the moment, he asked her to marry him! And *spoiler* she said yes!
