Nicole's race across the Triad to a shiny, new diamond ring! This video was taken and edited by our friend Jennifer John (Jee) while two other friends, Lenora and Bri, helped guide Nicole through 5 different stops throughout the Triad over a 5 1/2 hour period. The proposal was setup like the show "The Amazing Race"... Of course the twist was that it was just her (being followed around by a camera) and each clue sent her to a place where we've had a date over the past 2 1/2 years. She had tasks to do that we actually did on our dates -- needless to say, she had a blast! And the reward at the end was pretty exciting as well. To get her to take this day off of work, I had to come up with a fake fun day. She was under the impression that she was going to lunch with the girls in Burlington, then going to a wine tasting & hike nearby, and finishing off the day in Winston-Salem with me at a Winston-Salem Dash baseball game. This is what she really had coming her way: 1. Girls at brunch in Burlington/Nicole's surprise of her day ahead 2. Kayaking at Lake MacKintosh 3. Rock Climbing at the Ultimate Climbing Gym (where we met) 4. Dodgeball/Basketball tasks at Peak Fitness in Winston-Salem 5. Eating the most amazing chocolate cake at Noma in downtown Winston-Salem 6. Oriental Shrine Club (our 1st date for a swing dance with the Piedmont Swing Dance Society): Slow dance to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" and then Swing dance to Brian Setzer's "Jump, Jive, and Wail"... then I got on mic to say how much I love her and then got on one knee and proposed. I love you Nicole!
