Dominic surprised Kristen with tickets to Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast, talking for days about how excited he was to dress up and experience the show. His unexpected enthusiasm for theater was her first clue that something special might be in the works. After the show, Dominic suggested a stop at Frances Park in Lansing, a charming spot tucked into one of the city's historic neighborhoods. Even with rain pouring down, he insisted they go—confirming Kristen’s growing suspicion that a proposal was coming. When they arrived, Kristen quickly noticed Dominic’s brother, Joseph, attempting (not so successfully) to hide in the bushes with a camera. At that point, the surprise was all but confirmed. Moments later, in the rain, Dominic got down on one knee and asked Kristen to marry him. Her answer came without hesitation: "yes!"
