Paul and Becca had the idea of getting engaged for a while, but only one of them knew when this idea would come to life. Paul had planned a day at the Botanic Garden with the reason being his friend, Erik who was in town for the weekend, really wanted to see it as he had never been to the Garden. Becca had asked two of her friends, Anna and Bella, if they would like to come along also, but they responded with seeming to have other plans for the day. The trip proceeded to take shape with Becca, Paul, and Erik arriving and roaming just the three of them. They continued to the Rose Garden as this was near to the eventual site of the proposal. The three of them continued to the Waterfall Garden where the plan would be fulfilled. Little did Becca know, Anna and Bella were not actually busy, but instead they had gone ahead of the group and arrived at the Waterfall Garden early as a surprise. The stage was set and the surprise proposal took place at the same spot that Paul and Becca took their very first picture together one year earlier.
