The Proposal!!

Jack and Lauren began designing the perfect ring with strong meaning for both of them together in September of 2023. That gorgeous marquise diamond was Jack’s grandmother’s from her engagement ring and those sparkling side diamonds were taken from Lauren’s mother’s wedding band. When the ring was ready earlier than planned, Jack knew he couldn’t wait until summer, as he had originally planned. He contacted Lauren’s friend, Rachel, to make sure her nails would be done and made sure to take Lauren’s parents out to lunch to ask their blessing while Lauren was at work. Jack asked his friend, Bobby, who makes his own movies, to help with the day of the proposal. Jack told Lauren they had to film a scene for Bobby’s movie. Jack wrote up a script for Lauren and Jack to practice and film with. On December 21st, 2023, Jack took Lauren to Long Beach in Nissequogue, NY to film the scene. While filming the scene, Jack seemed to hesitate on his line when Lauren’s back was turned. As Lauren turned around to see what was wrong, there Jack was, on one knee! “Lauren Grace Brady, will you marry me?” Lauren, of course, said yes. Lauren was absolutely clueless right up to the moment she turned around. Thanks to Bobby, the unforgettable moment was captured on high quality video and through beautiful photographs. Jack’s friends surprised Lauren and Jack with flowers, wine, and confetti poppers.
