In the spring of 2024, Nancy and Jessie decided to take a weekend getaway to Rhode Island. They shared a love for period pieces, so visiting the Breakers Mansion felt like the perfect adventure, alongside other local spots. Touring the opulent estate, they were immersed in the grandeur of Rhode Island’s Gilded Age, marveling at the lavish history. After exploring the mansion, they wandered outside to stroll through the expansive gardens. Surrounded by vibrant blooms and lush greenery, they kicked off their shoes and danced barefoot on the grass for the first time that season. Music filled the air as they laughed, relaxed, and reveled in the beauty of the day. As they sat together, soaking in the sun and each other’s company, Nancy, with a nervous smile, turned to Jessie and asked, “Will you marry me?” Jessie, caught off guard, playfully made her ask a few more times, savoring the moment before finally saying, “Yes, of course!” Nancy, slightly bashful, admitted she hadn’t gotten a ring yet, but before any hesitation could linger, Jessie revealed that she had a ring for Nancy—one she had been keeping hidden in Nancy’s very own nightstand for months. In that sweet, unexpected twist, their proposal became a perfect reflection of their connection: full of affection, spontaneity and intentional moments together. It was a beautiful way to begin not only a new season but a new chapter in their lives together.
