Zack had known he was going to propose for a long time (try 2 years!). It was a matter of when timing made sense. Once fall of 2023 approached, he knew the time had come (fall is Liv’s favourite season!). Zack managed to order the ring (his birthstone, emerald) off a custom Etsy jeweler. Once the ring came in (after an anxious wait), he decided better now then never. It just so happened to be the same weekend where, three years ago, they had gone on their very first date to Spoon and Fork, the sushi restaurant. Zack decided to call back to this first date, and made a reservation for lunch on November 6, 2023. That day, Zack took Liv out for a day of “Liv’s Favourite Things.” This included church, coffee, shopping, and sushi. Once their nostalgic date at Spoon and Fork was done, they went on a beautiful walk through the woods. There, in the peace of the fall colours in the forest, he got on one knee, and the rest is history!
