Katie and Gage have been together for six years. Instead of dropping lots of hints, Katie decided it was time to take some action– and propose.

Gage and Katie had already been talking marriage. In fact, Katie knew the ring that Gage had for her because they picked it out together! He was originally going to propose on Valentine’s Day, but the plans changed when Katie’s aunt passed away. Gage was devastated, and went back to work trying to find a time to surprise Katie. He wanted to surprise her, but he had no idea she’d end up surprising him!

Gage returned to his place and was faced with a letter Katie had written him a year ago that was titled, “Read this when you’re ready to propose!” After he reads it, he goes into his room to find balloons decorated with pictures of their relationship through the years. Katie then gives him “the speech” that most women get to hear, and drops to one knee with a ring pop for her proposal (2:10).

The best part is right after she proposes and he says yes, she asks if he can get her ring! I mean, she knows what it is– and obviously she’s dying to put it on her finger. His mom gives him a little push (his parents are recording the video), and it cuts to Gage reciprocating with a proposal of his own (2:55). Talk about a way to do it!
