Justin was working as a firefighter for Fort Lauderdale, and I an emergency room nurse in downtown Fort Lauderdale. We were friends for 4 years before dating. Immediately we both felt this was something special from the beginning.
How long did you date before he popped the question?
We were together a 1 ½ year before Justin popped the question. He was waiting for me to finish Grad school so that I wouldnt be distracted.
How did he propose?
Justin and I had a favorite picnic spot in Tree Tops Park, after completing my final certification test for school Justin planned a picnic day for us to celebrate. As we walked to the spot I noticed a white blanket with rose petals, and our song Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett was playing. He led me over to our tree which he had engraved Tracey Will You Marry Me got down on one knee and popped the question. It was romantic, meaningful and perfect for us!
