The Proposal
Ben asked Payton to marry him on 2/24/24 in Cocoa Beach, Florida on the beach where Ben and Payton spend many Saturdays. This particular Saturday was no different, so Payton was completely surprised. We spent the day then went back to Ben’s parents’ house to shower and get ready for a date. Ben insisted on going down to the beach for the rocket launch prior to dinner. Payton hesitated to go back to the beach as we had showered and could see the rocket perfectly from the house. With some convincing, we walked to the beach. We started to walk like usual, north towards the pier. There was this random stick in the ground to which Payton pointed out and just laugh because why would there be a giant stick standing straight up in the sand. Ben then replied, it must be a marker for something. At this point Ben was slowly turning to be in front of Payton. As Ben is turning, he begins to stay something like, I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a while” to which Payton said, “No, now, what, are you sure?” Ben made his way down on one knee and Payton said YES! The most nerve-wracking question of Ben’s life and Payton’s easiest YES. Waiting for us was a photographer, Ben’s sisters, and Payton’s friend from New Jersey!
