On July 5, 2024, Lee planned to take Krista to dinner at their favorite restaurant, Antoni's. He could not do it on the 4th of July because he promised Krista that he would not propose on a holiday.

The night of the engagement, Lee did not know that Krista had two plumbers at her house doing maintenance on her water heater. He patiently waited in anticipation on the couch as Krista got ready for dinner. Once Krista was ready to go, Lee got down on one knee with the ring and proposed. The dogs quickly tackled Lee to the ground in excitement. Krista and Lee laughed and cried, as they immediately shared the news with their parents. They celebrated the night, engaged, at Antoni's over a bottle of wine and chicken parmesan!

The last three years together have been the best years of their lives. They have shared many dinners, sporting events, concerts, movie nights, blending of friends and family, and of course, Lee becoming a dog dad to Toby and Livie. Krista and Lee are grateful to be surrounded by supportive family and friends.

They cannot wait to celebrate with you in October!
