On December 29, 2018, we went to Marshall to the Wonderland of Lights with our friends. We had an amazing time that night with great laughter and hot chocolate. After our fun night out, Tate requested me to ride with him home. Once we were almost home, Tate told me to close my eyes just like he did on our first date. Tate pulls over on the side of the road where the Merrit's put on a beautiful display of Christmas lights every year. This is a special spot for us, because Tate took me there on our first date. He helped me out of the car and got down on one knee. He told me to open my eyes and there it all was! He proposed and it was so beautiful and thoughtful. I can't wait to marry Forester Tate Nicks!
