The proposal was carefully calculated by Steven Tran for several months in early 2022. He planted into Natalie's head that it is a progressive time and women can propose instead. She fully believed that in order for the two of them to get married, she would have to propose to him. She looked up classes nearby that would allow her to handmake his engagement ring. Little did she know that he was way ahead of her and already had her engagement ring custom made.

December 13, 2022, rolls by quickly. It was their two-year anniversary and they had reservations to eat at one of the best sushi spots in town, Uchiko. It was a working Friday, so the plans were set for later in the day. Steven texted Natalie, "I have planned for us to go on a hike and see the sunset at McKinney Falls State Park. Dress nicely as we are heading straight to Uchiko after." Natalie thought this strange to be dressed up for a hike, but she knew that Steven is a planner, so she brought several pairs of shoes. One for hiking and two pairs of dress shoes for the nice restaurant.

They reach the park and began their stroll to the falls. There, a photographer was taking a picture of a couple. Steven asked if they should ask him to take their photos as it's their second anniversary, but Natalie who was shy quietly denied it. Before long the photographer actually reached to them first claiming that he was a new photographer who wanted to build his portfolio and asked if he could take some pictures. They accepted and before long Steven and Natalie were posing as if they were models.

Steven asked for a Charlie Angel's pose where they were standing back to back. After some time, Natalie turned around and he was on one knee asking, "Will you marry me?"

Obviously, she said "Yes!" and it was sweet moment. Steven hugged the photographer and it turned out Natalie had met the photographer before! It was Steven's old high school friend, but the face mask and new hairdo concealed it. It was a wonderful day and the start of a new life together.
