how I connected with them
I met Quincey and Brody in a very round about way. Quincey's mom reached out to me because she found me on google. She had the exact time and location that Brody was going to propose to Quincey and wanted me to be there. I work directly with the boyfriend, so I asked to get into touch with him. She sent me Quincey's phone number and I reached out to her and made sure it was okay with her that I reach out to her boyfriend. Quincey wanted to know what was going to happen, but she still wanted an element of surprise in the proposal. She sent me to Brody with the hope to create some element of surprise that day. Brody and I talked about his proposal and came up with a few ideas of things to have ready to actually surprise her, we talked about changing location, or having an intimate picnic there.
Brody and I ended up settling on having an intimate candlelit picnic set up for them when they arrive. I got all of the supplies including the picnic blankets, candles, food and champagne for their picnic
His personal touch with the Bible
Brody and Quincey share a Christian faith and Brody wanted to bring that faith into their special moment. He brought his Bible and shared several special Bible verses to set the stage and share his thoughts and feelings. They then prayed together.

champagne pop
To make this a real celebration, I brought two bottles of champagne for them to share, one was the cheapest bottle available at the liquor store for a champagne pop. The second bottle was a bit nicer, something they could drink together that night or later on their trip. It was the same variety that they planned to have at their wedding!
To let them finish off their night and celebrate being engaged, I left them to enjoy their picnic and time together out on the sand dunes as it got dark and the stars came out.
