Jeff had his work cut out for him for the proposal. Trying to plan things without Amanda knowing would be a task. We commute to work together so it would be hard to set everything up.
On September 19th Jeff had said he had a work meeting at an offsite location and would be going to work late. Amanda later found out that he didn't go to work at all that day.
When she arrived home, he escorted her into the house. After following a trail of rose pedals to the kitchen there was "Marry Me WV Mountaineer" written on the floor in rose pedals. With John Denver's Country Roads song playing in the background, Jeff dropped to one knee and asked Amanda to marry him. Of course she said yes.
After the proposal we had a dinner reservation at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in Minneapolis to celebrate (best steak ever).
To top off the night, Jeff had planned a horse and carriage ride down by the river in downtown Minneapolis.
It was a very romantic night that we will never forget!
