The Proposal

Jason popped the question while the couple was staying down the Shore.

“I knew Jason really wanted all elements of our engagement to be a surprise,” says Olivia. “However, the week of the proposal he was on a call with one of his best friends from college. He was on speaker and his friend asked about the proposal! After an awkward silent pause, we laughed about it and Jay tried throwing me off (and did so successfully).

“He told me not to make plans for the following Thursday night. And we left it at that. So, when he proposed just a couple of days later, I was not at all expecting it!”
