Gideon knew that big flashy proposals were not my thing. At the same time, I didn't want a casual couch proposal. I wanted something intentional, meaningful, and planned out. The Proposal was a perfect harmony of my requests and Gideon's unconcerned personality. The outdoor enthusiast that I am, I found every possible way to drag Gideon on hikes (Luckily he loves me so much he graciously obliges!) On the evening of May 1st, 2022, we decided our hike for the next day was going to be around a local Seattle park, Discovery Park. Shortly before ending our hike, Gideon pulled off the trail and suggested I snap a picture of the view. At this point, I was over our hike and wanted to go home so we could get ready for dinner with friends. But, because I love him so much, I begrudgingly took a photo of the view... to then turn around and find Gideon on one knee! Now, you may be wondering, where's the "perfect harmony" I alluded to earlier? Well, while Gideon was intentional in planning that he would propose on the hike, his unconcerned personality failed to map out where on the hike he would propose. Luckily, I said yes!
