After a few years together, Steve and Julie took a California road trip at the end of Julie’s work contract in San Francisco. While there, they took a long hike up the falls at Yosemite National Park. Julie wanted to turn around multiple times, but Steve encouraged her to make it to the top to see one of the tallest waterfalls in North America. As soon as they got to the top (as in, immediately), Steve got down on one knee and popped the question. Completely surprised but also 100 percent sure, Julie said YES! Later that evening, they shared a special meal at the Ahahnee hotel in Yosemite village and they spent the next few days celebrating the outdoors, doing what they love.
