Ashley and Derek had a trip planned to Tennessee with Ashley's brother, Wade and his now wife Emily. While in Tennessee, they planned a trip to Biltmore Estates in North Carolina. Ashley was so excited. Biltmore Estates is Ashley's favorite place to visit. She was told that after they toured the home that they would take pictures in the gardens for Wade and Emily's pre-wedding pictures. Once they were in the garden, Derek went ahead of Wade, Emily, and Ashley. Ashley was so upset because she thought it would be so romantic to walk through the gardens together. When they all caught up to Derek, Emily asked them to pose together so that she could find the perfect light for their wedding pictures. When having their pictures taken, Derek turned and faced Ashley and said "I brought you here for a reason. I am going to propose now!!" Derek took both of Ashley's hands and proceeded to tell her how much he loves her and couldn't imagine life without being together. He got down on one knee and said, "Ashley Nichole Calvert, Will you marry me?!"
