How did Justin propose?

We were on a family vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains and had flown in a day earlier than everyone else. A few weeks prior to vacation we found a restaurant, 'The Appalachian' in Sevierville, TN, that looked to die for. If anyone knows us, they know we LOVE food. While at dinner, we joked and joked about how I would propose to Justin; something food related.. very public.. etc. As the dinner went on and we devoured our plates, Justin mentioned that this restaurant would be hard to beat for a proposal. He got up searching for what I assumed was his wallet, and returned with an envelope. Inside, was the most beautiful and well written letter. As I read it, we are both tearing up, and when I finished reading he asked me to stand up and got down on one knee. Before he could even get his question out, I yelled "of course!". Little did I know, he had planned all of this for months prior. He subtly suggested I get my nails done, informed the restaurant of his plans, called my parents to ask them for their blessings, and even showed our dog, Louis, the engagement ring the night before. Needless to say, I was blown away and absolutely surprised! We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives re-telling this long awaited story.
