The Proposal!

Chris and Becca had been discussing getting married for a while and almost everyone knew it would happen at some point. There was occasional trips to the jewelry store to get sized and look at designs, and there were all the talks about the wedding and marriage prior to the engagement. So, when it came time for us to plan a family trip to RI with Chris' parents, the big questions began to get asked (e.g. "Will he or won't he talk to her dad in person?" "Will he or won't he propose while in RI?") So four days into the trip, day two in RI, we were sitting on the T heading into Boston for a tour with his parents and hers, Becca looked at Chris and stated, "Just so you know, I have given up on the thought that you would propose while we are in New England." Chris doing his best, kept cool and remained in focus. While touring Boston, everyone except Becca, wanted to go to Fenway Park (Home of the Boston Red Sox) and tour the ball park! Which baffled Becca because Chris, nor his parents, did not care for Baseball AT ALL. Only Becca's family cared about baseball, so she was really confused over all of it. So we went on a tour of the park and at the very end, we had a few moments to get some pictures taken.......

So Chris and Becca's parents finish snapping pictures, as I am about to turn and grab my purse Chris tells them to "keep their cameras ready and that he is about to do something." Becca looked at him and asked "what are you doing?" then realized what was about to happen!!! As Chris is getting to one knee, Becca called him a "jerk." However, Chris is unphased by this and ask in the most simplist, romantic four words "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Becca immediately starts in on an emotion break down as she announces "YES"

Therefore, in short, Chris proposed to Becca near the third base line at Fenway Park on July 14, 2009.
