Give us the proposal details! When? Where? How?
After finishing our entrees during our fourth-anniversary dinner at Rose’s Luxury, Kevin asked the waiter to take a photo of us. The waiter said they have an “in-house photographer” tonight who would be happy to. Monique was skeptical at first, but it was a nice restaurant, so she thought, “Why not!”. Seconds later, Kevin got down on one knee and popped the question. The whole restaurant turned and cheered! Turns out, Monique’s brother and his friend had been waiting to capture the big moment on camera throughout the meal. She had no idea they were in on it all along. After dessert, we walked over to the U.S. Capitol for an instant engagement photoshoot!
