During a beach trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina with some of Gen's family, Braden asked her to take a walk on the beach in the evening. As they walked onto the beach, there was a glowing ring of lights a little ways down towards the water. As they got closer, Gen realized that it was tea lights in the shape of a heart with white roses (her favorite) stuck in the sand. Braden took her into the center of the heart, got on one knee, and through her tears, she said YES! Now, we're going back to the east coast to tie the knot and move on to the next chapter in our lives together. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
