Brandon wrapped Nicole's phone in a note so when she awoke to her alarm the note read " I have a surprise planned for us be ready at 11.” Brandon picked up Nicole and drove through the poring rain to a beautiful hiking trail. They walked with their umbrellas through the woods to the top of a hill where a violinist was playing “A Thousand Years” next to a beautiful picnic, with a nearby photographer hiding behind a tree. Brandon got down on one knee. Nicole obviously said yes.
