In early May after Kelly completed her spring MBA course and Joe had asked permission of course, the couple took a long weekend trip to Niagara Falls in Canada. Kelly was absolutely positive there was no proposal in the near future as they had only started looking at rings and each store made it clear it would take over a month to order. Little did she know, Joe had already ordered a ring that was to be delivered the day before their trip. So she thought nothing of the fact that he wouldn't let her unpack his bags when they got there. With a beautiful corner suite that had an amazing view of both falls, the couple enjoyed a romantic weekend.
Following a magic show at a nearby venue, Kelly and Joe took a late night walk down by the falls. Kelly was of course taking lots of pictures of the lights on the falls and not paying attention to her nervous boyfriend. He then proceeded to point out that he was in the most beautiful place in the world with the most beautiful girl in the world and told her how much he loved her and wanted to spend his life with her. She luckily kept herself from passing out as he dropped to one knee and obviously she said yes! It's a good thing too: Joe had previously told Kelly's sister Laura, "either she's going to say yes or she's going in!"
