Clayton planned a surprise engagement for almost 5 months. He had roped Lindsey's sister Taylor and one of his firefighter buddies JP into the plan.

Clayton and Lindsey went to dinner with Taylor and her husband Jay at Barbaro "to get pumped for the start of football season." And afterwards Taylor and Lindsey had "planned" to go to a nearby bar, La Ruina, to check out their Mocktail Menu (Taylor was pregnant). On the way to the bar, Taylor called Lindsey and asked if they could take a slight detour to take some pregnancy announcement photos for them. Lindsey, of course, agreed and they stopped at the Hays Street Bridge downtown SA. Hays Street Bridge overlooks Alamo Beer (the second location of the night from their first date). Turns out this was all pre-planned by Clayton.

As they were walking up onto the bridge, there were some chickens climbing in the trees lining the bridge. This was strange but Lindsey didn't think anything of it. Clayton was starting to get nervous and the chickens apparently threw him off his plan. As they approached the middle of the bridge, Lindsey spotted a man busking with his guitar (JP). She didn't recognize him, and even mentioned what an odd spot it was to busk since there weren't many people around. After Lindsey took the fake pregnancy announcement photos, Taylor offered to take a photo for Lindsey and Clayton since the sun was setting and the scenery was beautiful. While posing for the photo, Clayton started acting suspicious and Lindsey could tell something was off. That is when Clayton got down on one knee and asked Lindsey to spend the rest of her life with him.
