Craig and Grace got engaged seven years later in August 2023 on the Tampa Riverwalk. The running joke was that Craig would propose “after Grace finished school,” but Grace kept going back to school, and Craig’s torn patella tendon made it physically impossible for him to get down on one knee. On the day of the proposal, it was rainy, and Craig—typically calm and collected—found himself unusually stressed. As they headed to the restaurant, Craig kept missing turns and driving in circles, which made Grace suspicious but still unaware of the upcoming proposal. At the restaurant, the waitress—whom Craig had extensively prepped—forgot her cues multiple times. In the end, everything worked out perfectly, and Grace was thoroughly surprised.
