David decided that in order to make his proposal, he had to go back to the beginning… and include friends and family at that. He also had to convince Starbucks to let friends pose as employees, and get REI to help, too… since the Starbucks is in REI.

So while Stefanie is running around REI, thinking she’s in a contest to get some kind of gift card– what’s REALLY going on is David is getting changed into a suit, friends and family are gathered in the Starbucks, and he’s getting ready to go down on one knee.

If I were Stefanie, I would be so excited because he thought something out that was from the heart, and at the same time annoyed because he had me running and climbing in REI like a madwoman for now reason. I mean, don’t get me wrong– if they’re the kind of couple that climbs and does stuff together (they did meet at REI), then I’m sure she didn’t mind. She still ends up in a dress when he’s on one knee, after all.
