Nate and Jen decided to make a date to go out kayaking. The next day, Nate strapped the kayaks to his truck and they met up at Independence Park in Beverly. They spent hours on the water paddling, talking, and laughing. That was a day neither of them would forget.

It was a gorgeous day and Nate wanted to go kayaking. Jen had a sinus infection, but she caved in and they drove up to Gloucester. It was Fiesta weekend, so there was a lot going on! They went in the water on the kayaks with a couple of their friends to watch the Greasy Pole competition. After that, they pulled the kayaks on land to bring back to the truck. Jen decided to sit at the picnic bench and admire the amazing view of the ocean and all the boats. When she turned around, Nate was kneeling on one knee with a breath-taking sun set as a background. In much shock, Jen could only say, "Are you serious? Are you kidding? Is this for real? Stop joking! " You see, he has joked about this before! Then he asked, "Will you marry me?" She officially said yes. And it was clear they were both very excited to be taking that next step.
