Jake proposed at Bonnaroo in June 2023 with a symbolic, handmade engagement ring made of braided strands of grass and cast in epoxy resin. (Carina always said that she wouldn't need a fancy engagement ring, and that a simple blade of grass would do the trick.)

Jake had been planning to propose since their first Bonnaroo in June 2022 during the Stevie Nicks show when he decided that he was ready to pop the question. Secretly, Jake grabbed a handful of grass from the festival grounds and over the course of the year continued to gather blades of grass from every place we have made core memories during our relationship. With the blessing of his son, Shiloh, he then taught himself how to braid the delicate strands together and how to cast them into epoxy resin to create the most romantic, sentimental engagement ring.
