Chris landed at 5pm Friday night after a two-week trip to Scotland. His flight was delayed a full 24 hours and he barely slept, but he still insisted he was ready for date night.

We played cards and drank espresso martinis to help with the jet lag before heading to dinner at El Gaucho.

When we sat down the waitress asked if we were in a hurry. Katie quickly responded that we had no where to be in hopes to extend the date night as long as possible before Chris got home and inevitably fell asleep.

We enjoyed drinks and apps while catching up on Chris's travels until finally our steaks came. We had each taken one bite when Chris broke the news - he planned to surprise me with a speakeasy after dinner but his timing was off and we were due for our reservation in 8 minutes.

Katie, excited that the date night wasn't over yet, didn't think twice when Chris had us pack up our barely-touched steaks and rush out.

We're greeted at the "speakeasy" by a woman who directed us to a room down the hall. We turn the corner and see a room decorated with flowers and candles. Chris led Katie to the table in the middle of the room and popped the question.

We popped champagne and celebrated together before Kaity and Ben came to join.
