Ben had planned to propose to Jen the night that she had made dinner and was going to accompany Ben to the lake. She knew! Ben kept saying "I want to make the sunset, I'm so upset..." and so on. Jen knew because he was acting way more meticulous than usual. They left shortly due to an abundant amount of mosquitoes and people in the same area.
Jen was sad because she knew Ben was going to propose and because she knew he was upset about it.
He slept over that night. Jen knew he was going to try again that morning. He went to the car while she was still in bed, made her coffee, and it all just seemed right. He, again, didn't do it. Jen even called her mom saying "I'm really upset, I think he was going to propose last night AND this morning but he didnt."
That day, they went on a hike. No shower, no makeup, and hair was messed up. Jen wasn't in the best of moods, which made Ben really hesitant to pop the question. Jen assumed he wouldn't because of the setting. Just his luck, he'd lose it in the dirt or plants. They started talking about moving forward in their relationship. Ben starts talking about how he can't wait to buy a home and really get their lives started. Jen states, "Honestly honey, I really just want to start my life with YOU. The house and the move sound great, but it wouldn't be right without you." Ben suddenly asks "Can we stop and each lunch on this rock right here?"
She starts to pull it out and he says, "I'm glad you feel that way..." and gets on one knee. Jen's look on her face was complete shock! She had no idea! He asked, she smiled, nodded, and then as they kissed, Jen stated "I hate you!" The reason why she said that was because she knew this whole time! She knew the night before, that morning, but she genuinely had no idea when the time came.
They were engaged September 4th 2011 in the middle of the day during their hike. Brody, their 80 pound lab, was able to share this experience while on the hike!
