Isaac had been planning the proposal for months. In fact, the center diamond on Elizabeth's engagement ring was given to her by her great-grandmother, Margaret Dize. Isaac & Elizabeth had already purchased the setting and had the ring made, so it was just a matter of time...
In May of 2011, Elizabeth was told that she would be coming to Raleigh, NC for the week to be with his family and work a soccer tournament. However, after Isaac had picked her up from the airport, she realized that they were going a weird direction to his house. He then announced that they were headed to the beach! Isaac then proceeded to tell her that she was to be the navigator when he gave her the directions to a hotel on the beach in Myrtle Beach!!!
When they got to the hotel, they enjoyed a nice dinner then went for a walk on the beach. While the two of them were walking, they started talking about the future. At this point, Isaac got down on his knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" And the rest is history!
Elizabeth said YES and now-- almost 2 years later-We celebrated our wedding on March 2, 2013
