The Proposal

I know you all have been itching to know how Garret popped the question. 

March 8, 2016
It was a sunny, spring morning in Victoria. The weather so far on Sara and Garret's trip to Victoria was decent, but the couple knew it could turn at a moment's notice. 

Early Tuesday morning, Sara and Garret decided to go for a hike/beach walk out past Sooke-- something Sara strives to do each visit. 

The two landed at Muir Creek to explore the beach for fossils, rocks, and maybe find a bit of gold (a bit of foreshadowing?). 

After a morning of admiring the scenery and scavenging for rocks, shells, and fossils, Garret stumbled upon something in the sand. He exclaimed to Sara, "What's this?" and began to dig towards the prize. 

Clueless, Sara spun around to find Garret on bended knee, producing a ring. Now, for Sara, what happened next was a huge blur. She thinks words came out of her mouth, many maybe not appropriate to share on a public site. She may have lost control over his body and because the answer was obviously YES she tried to get the ring off her middle finger on her left hand, and fumbled around. She may have grabbed the ring from Garret and put it on herself. Again, it was a blur for Sara. 

Garret recalls seeing a flash of Gollum erupt from his blushing fiancee. 

Although the words may not have been uttered, it was a resounding YES!
