Drew proposed to Rachel on the beach in Sarasota, Florida on August 13, 2022!

A few days before, he mentioned to Rachel that they should go on a weekend staycation. The couple loves to try new places and go on adventures, so this did not seem out of the ordinary. They were very excited to bring their dog, Amelia. She is named after the street the couple met on (Amelia Avenue). Rachel spent the week spitballing ideas of things to do, places to go, restaurants to try, but little did she know Drew already had the whole thing planned! They spent the day at an art museum (Ringling) and had a nice dinner date afterward.

After dinner, the couple took a romantic walk on the beach. Drew surprised Rachel with a picnic set up and proposed! Shortly after the proposal, both of their families came out from behind the tall sea grass and celebrated with them! The couple spent the rest of the evening eating pizza (family tradition), and just soaking up the time spent with their parents and siblings.
