03.08.23- The best beach day for us!

On a perfect spring break day at 5:20 PM in Pensacola Beach, Florida, months of proposal planning came into action.

Katie's friends were in on the proposal and helped by bringing her to the beach with the promise of taking photos. After a few photos, everyone but Matt and Katie went back up to the house saying they had to use the bathroom.

As 5:20 PM approached Matt kept Katie’s back to the West knowing what the engine noise in the distance was. When the time was just right Matt asked Katie, “What kind of plane is that?” Upon turning around she saw the Cessna 172 pulling a banner saying, "KTKIRK WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Not too long after she said yes, her friends and all of the fraternity brothers rushed over the sand dune they were hiding behind with champagne bottles, balloons, and screams of excitement!

It truly was a day to remember and an incredible celebration with all our closest friends.
