Is that a potato in Tim's hand? Yes, it is!

Why?

A long time ago, one of the children at the school Marta worked at proposed to her with a potato and she thought it was hilarious!

Later on, after they had been dating for some time, Marta jokingly said that when they get married one day, she doesn't need a fancy ring; she would even be happy with just a potato!

That comment stuck with Tim because it was such a great idea! Especially since he assumed that she probably did not expect him to ACTUALLY propose to her with a potato. So, when the time came, he carved out a potato and stuck the ring box inside so that opening the potato revealed the ring.
