The soon-to-be-groom, Kevin proposed to Nicole at his beloved park (Mt. St. Marys), where he grew up going to, on their road trip to Illinois in June 2021. They were planning to join a charity bike ride from a local brewery and Kevin made his best attempt to bring Nicole to Mt. St. Marys park where he had planned to ask Nicole for her hand, prior to the bike ride. He had already planned to have a friend, Owen photograph the special moment. After "accidentally" running into Owen, he had offered to take a photo of the couple at a pretty area of the park. While Nicole and Owen were talking cameras, Kevin got down on one knee and proposed, while Owen captured the moment beautifully. The freshly engaged couple then went on the 12 mile bike ride with tons of butterflies in their stomachs and a their dog, Peanut on their back!
