Lily's POV:

It was my birthday, so Caleb had planned lunch at my favorite place in Pawleys. He asked me to dress nicely and picked me up. I could tell he was nervous. I knew something was up when he tried to skip dessert! After finishing dessert (yes, I got my way; I was the birthday girl), we headed to the beach. With the windows down and music playing, I started to have a suspicion. I checked his pocket, but I didn't see a ring box. Once we got far enough on the beach, he asked me!

My favorite part of it all was that Caleb had spent the night before walking that very spot, practicing, and praying over it!

Caleb's POV:

What a fun day! I had so much fun planning it out and trying to keep it a secret. I chose her birthday because I thought it would give the engagement a good disguise and surprise. We got dressed up, I picked her up and we went to Bistro for lunch. I remember looking at her across the table and thinking yeah, that’s my wife, and she has no clue I'm about to propose to her (what an exciting feeling). We then made our way over to the beach for what she thought was just a walk. Listening to some of our favorite songs on the short drive over I felt like I was on cloud nine and man was I confident. That confidence would soon fade as I parked the truck, got out, and slid the ring into my back pocket. It was showtime and I was nervous lol. I remember coming out the day prior and planning it out with an old buddy of mine who was the photographer. I came out and walked and prayed over the spot I was going to stop and ask her to be my wife. I also remember I wanted to have some big long speech as I walked out there. That big long speech I thought I would give soon turned into a lump in my throat and I don't remember too much of what was said outside of Lily I love you. I then think I said something along the lines of what is that over there to make her look in the opposite direction (what a dumb thing to say lol) and lowered to my knee and popped the question. She said yes! (I know I was shocked too!)
