The Proposal

First Date Glow Up / 6.23.19

Chris and Betty met up with Lindsay at the Beaverton Pride Parade and unbeknownst to Betty, Chris had had Lindsay order the ring and have it shipped to her house so Betty wouldn't find out. Lindsay handed him the ring right under Betty's nose wrapped in a t-shirt Lindsay said she'd bought him. After the parade Chris and Betty headed out on their previously planned dinner and picture adventure date. Chris stomach was really bothering him (he was so nervous!) and wasn't improving but, despite Betty's protests, he was insistent they go anyway. On the drive there Chris asked "graffiti and Montage is romantic right?" Betty laughed, enthusiastically agreed but mentioned how the clouds looked a bit like it might rain on our adventure. To this Chris replied "Well... then I could pull a Jim." Betty sat there a little stunned... did he just make a Jim & Pam "The Office" proposal reference? There's no way she was misreading that right? They parked and began exploring and photographing the industrial district, something they did on our very first date. They arrived at the Taylor Electric building, which on our first date was a burned down, fenced off building covered in graffiti that they had to sneak into to take pictures. Today some of the original structure remains as the walls of the parking structure of the new building and artists still come paint it. Betty was snapping away with her camera when I hear from behind me "Bunny...?" There Chris was down on one knee with a huge smile and an open ring box asking "Will you marry me?" to which Betty yelled "Yes I will marry you!!!". On the way to Montage to celebrate our engagement a single firework went off! It was a coincidence, but it felt so magical- like it was just for them.

For all the days along the way
