After a delicious dinner date at the only Asian restaurant in Vermillion, SD, #Joelena decided to burn off some calories by walking down to the end of their neighborhood to their usual park bench that overlooked the bluffs. The sun was setting in the background and the mosquitos were ready to come out and play. Enjoying the present moment with a full belly of Malaysian spicy noodles, JoeLena began to sit down on the bench. Sweaty palms and the odor of Chinese take-out were some factors that Joe knew he needed to quickly transition and ask Lena one of the most important questions in her life before dark. They began to sit down where Joe began talking about how he knows the importance of family is to Lena and that he went to meet her parents earlier in the week with his parents. Within seconds, Joe holding Chinese takeout in one hand and the ring in the other, got down on one knee.... and the rest is history. #SheSaidYAsSS
