The surprise proposal! Story time: Matt told Steph they were meeting up w/ Sarah & Drake for lunch before Steph's "graduation party". On the walk there, Matt stopped & got down on 1 knee!

Meanwhile, Matt's sisters were hiding out across the street to capture this amazing moment!

Steph was in tears (happy tears, of course)

Steph forgot to look at the ring while Matt was pouring his heart out and Matt asked, "sooo do you want to see the ring?" lol

We were beyond excited!! Little did Steph know, Matt had more surprises up his sleeve.

We continued walking to lunch and Matt had planned to have our families waiting to surprise us in front of the restaurant

Steph was overwhelmed with joy our families could be apart of such a special time in our lives

Let's take a moment for this beauty!
