Tyler proposed at what I thought was going to be just family pictures. While getting ready, the photographer was "running late." I had NO IDEA what all was really happening! I had my thoughts, but Tyler stayed too calm. When we got to the beach, everyone was already there waiting for us, and Dad said, "Who wants to see live turtles before the pictures?" There were no turtles; instead, I saw the sign "Will you marry me?" ... the rest is history!

It was the most special, unique, and thoughtful proposal. My family and best friend were there to witness it. We got to celebrate with our own Sunset Slush cart. If you know me, I love sunset slush, and every time we go to the beach, I look for them walking down the beach. If I don't get it on the beach, I might have a slight fit. Tyler provided our own to enjoy unlimited Italian Ice! We watched the sunset and enjoyed everyone's company with a toast to end the night.
