On our second date Dave took me to Frank Gilbert jr. memorial park where we danced under the pavilion surrounded by beautiful Christmas lights. Then on November 6th 2024 he took me there again after our anniversary dinner to recreate the moment (and unbeknownst to me, propose) but when we showed up the lights were up but not on, and in his mind, he was freaking out. He walked the pavilion looking for a way to turn them on himself. When he found the outlet it was ripped out of the pillar and hanging by the cords but somehow he still managed to find the cord and get them plugged in. Then he had me set up the camera on the tripod for our “anniversary pictures” and when I turned around I saw him down on one knee. And well, the rest is history in the making ❤️💍
