The proposal occurred at 07:31pm on a dock at a nearby lake. Elijah had prepared the dock with rose petals, pictures of the couple lined the front, beautiful bouquet of flowers, tea light candles, and stringed lights. He got down on one knee and asked if MaKayla was ready to be his forever bride. She said YES!
For their first date Elijah drove down to Tanger Outlets in Pigeon Forge, Tn to have lunch at The Chop House. After lunch the two drove around town, done a little shopping, then drove up to see the Mountain View. The photo below is their first picture together.
