The Proposal

September 13, 2022

The night Clay proposed, I (Mac) remember being completely oblivious to what was about to happen right up until we got to the restaurant. Clay had asked me out to dinner at Jackson’s, the restaurant where we had our first date. They seemed oddly nervous for a laid-back Tuesday night dinner, and kept checking something on their phone. We were seated at a cute little table on the balcony overlooking the restaurant, and I knew something was up when Clay suggested we get some sparkling wine. They got on one knee and made a beautiful speech, and presented me with the most gorgeous ring I’d ever seen. I said yes, obviously! Fireworks in my heart. Butterflies in my stomach. Time stood still. The earth moved under my feet. No, really - there was a 4.4 magnitude earthquake only a few minutes after Clay proposed. Not long after, our families joined us at the restaurant (that’s what Clay was checking on!) and we all celebrated together. It was wonderful and just so perfect!
