On this day, I (Macy) was headed to Tampa to spend the day with some of my best friends, Sarah and Colby. I met up with Colby at her house where we rode together to Sarah’s. We were then going to go to downtown Tampa with some of Sarah’s PICU friends- so I thought. On the way to Sarah’s, I happened to notice all of my friends had turned off their locations- totally not sketchy at all. I then grilled Colby with questions for the entire hour car ride on if Joe was proposing that day (other events leading up to this day had lead me to be suspicious). Meanwhile, Joe was nervously picking rose petals apart with Sarah’s fiancé Kyle. After picking up Sarah, when we arrived in Tampa, I was told we would be stopping at my friend Elly’s house that was along the water where Joe and I had one of our first and favorite dates. Just a few steps away from the boardwalk, in a spot overlooking the water, Joe was there to propose. I cried as Joe read a letter he had written and asked me to marry him in a spot we hold close to our hearts. After the proposal, Joe had set up for some of our friends and family to show up to dinner to surprise me. I was overwhelmed with the love and support we received that day and we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you all.
