Nate had the ring for months (exactly 2) prior to the proposal. He arranged a meet up with Kaylees mother in Seattle and asked permission to marry her daughter. Showed her mother the ring and received approval and Kaylees mothers blessing. With the ring in possession Nate was waiting to reach some goals before he got on one knee. He was in the process of purchasing investment properties in Glacier and knew as soon as he was in ownership he was popping the question. So when the closing date arrived and he had the keys in hand, he took Kaylee out to Glacier to tour the properties which he now owned. Kaylee brought champagne to celebrate Nates achievement. While walking through the cabin Nate got into a more serious tone and began expressing the depth of his love. He proposed there in the living room, and Kaylee said YES with zero hesitation. The champagne was opened and they celebrated. It was perfect becoming engaged in the seclusion of the forest without any distractions.
