It was December 10th, 2022. Kyle told Tara they were going to a company Christmas party for his work. Kyle told Tara it was a formal event to ensure she looked her best. It was cold and rainy that night. The two drove about 20 minutes away to a winery called "Casual Friday Wines."

Kyle was pretty quiet on the drive up to the venue, which was unusual for him. Tara didn't think anything of it since it was raining and thought Kyle was just really focused on driving. When the couple arrived at the venue, Tara pointed out that there were no cars in the parking lot and Kyle quickly responded that his co-workers were probably running late due to the weather.

Kyle told Tara the party was at the back of the property and ushered her past the front door of the main building to a covered pavilion/stage area. As the two arrived to the stage, Tara insisted that the party was likely inside the main building as there was nothing behind the stage. As Tara looked away trying to find a non-existent building, she turned around and saw Kyle on his knee. Tara recalls having a blank look on her face and not taking Kyle seriously as he had done proposal jokes before in the past. Once Tara realized that this was the real deal, she said "Shut up! YES!"

They both recall slightly blacking out as a camera started flashing as Kyle dropped to one knee due to him hiring a photographer for the occasion. After taking several more photos, the couple then went inside where they were greeted by Tara's friends and family. Tara was very surprised by the whole experience and could not believe the lengths everyone went to in order to pull off the perfect engagement!
