Leanne and Erik were overjoyed to learn they would be having a child together as it was something they both knew that they wanted together in their very new relationship. Erik then sought out Leannes father, Daniel for his permission and blessing to ask for Leannes hand in marriage. Upon receiving this, he received a special possession to the Murray family. Leannes brother Spencer gave Erik the ring of their dear mother Susan, and had it remade to give to Leanne as part of the proposal.

With everything falling into place, Erik began planning the proposal. Everything was set for a lovely proposal and party in September, until Leanne tested positive for Covid. After taking care of Leanne for the week of her symptoms and almost proposing during the stint at home, a negative test on September 25th gave Erik the motivation he needed to carry out his plan, he couldn’t wait any longer. Leanne and Erik took a drive to CN Smith Farm in East Bridgewater to go apple picking & get Leanne out of the house. Little did she know that after picking an apple in the orchard, shed turn around to see Erik on one knee. Her first response was “What are you doing?” When Erik pulled the ring out she realized what was happening, and before Erik could finish asking the important question, Leanne said yes!
