A week before the proposal, Matt suggested a day trip to Newport, Rhode Island. When the day arrived, Julie was helping her friend shop for wedding dresses in Fall River (she found her dress!) that morning when Matt came to pick her up. They drove down to Fort Adams State Park where they had attended Newport Folk Festival that past summer. It was a perfect sunny day but extremely windy. Matt brought his drone to try and fly (the plan was to get an aerial view of the proposal) but the winds proved to be an issue. Julie followed Matt all around the park as he kept trying to fly his drone with little luck. Julie was getting extremely confused (and a little annoyed), so Matt decided to put his drone back in the car. They continued to walk until they found a spot overlooking the water when Matt got down on one knee!
