How He Asked

Asking Mike

Amy and Mike came to KC in the winter for a visit. After having a great brunch, Amy and Josie decided they needed to shop and surprisingly, James and Mike did not want to go. Instead, the boys decided to grab a beer at the bar across the street. While there, James asked Mike for permission to propose. Luckily, this was kept a secret from Amy for almost 4 months, until James finally caved from her frequently asking and told her his plan. Within 24 hours, all of St. Louis knew.

The Proposal

With everyone in KC for Memorial Day weekend, James used the excuse to arrange another brunch at Brio in Country Club Plaza.While walking to the restaurant, James said those romantic words every girl waits to hear, "Oh and real quick."&nbsp;when Josie turned around, he was on one knee holding a ring. He had to ask several times because Josie didn’t believe it was really happening.That surprise became an even bigger surprise when applause broke out from the balcony of Brio where Josie’s parents, brother and sister in law and Aunts were waiting with James’ parents, sister, grandmother and family friends. It was a beautiful moment and made even more special to be shared by both families.
