Friday, May 19, Stephanie's friend text her asking if she wanted to go to Rock Springs, a local nature preserve, to get some wildflowers for an art project. Thinking that nothing was out of the ordinary, Stephanie said yes and even asked to get lunch beforehand.

The next morning, Stephanie woke up, and told Joe she wasn't sure if she wanted to go to lunch anymore and might just meet her at the park. Joe ended up convincing her to go. Little did she know that when she left to meet with her friend, Joe also left to head to Rock Springs.

After some shopping and a delicious dairy free lunch, Stephanie and her friend finally headed to Rock Springs. Unbeknownst to Stephanie, her friend had been texting Joe the entire time about what they were up to. Stephanie's friend led them into the pine forest with the ruse of needing pine needles and pine cones. While Stephanie was looking for pine cones, she looked up to ask her friend a question, when Joe appeared in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. Then suddenly, he got down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" Stunned, Stephanie froze for a minute with tears in her eyes and finally said, "Well yeah!"
