Holly was in Chicago for the week for a work conference, and Chris joined for the weekend afterwards (which also happened to be his birthday). He surprised her on a walk Saturday morning in Grant Park at a private garden right by a fountain where he popped the question. A few people in the distance clapped shortly after, one offering to take a Polaroid of them! Then they immediately met up with Holly’s three cousins in Chicago and their significant others for a pre-planned brunch that turned into a surprise celebration! It was a truly special day.
