ON MY 28TH BIRTHDAY MIKE AND I HAD PLANNED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PRIVATE DINNER AT FOGO DE CHAO IN PHILADEPHIA. AS I WALKED INTO THE RESTAURANT, MICHAEL GUIDING MY WAY, HE SLOWLY STOPPED AND LET ME WALK AHEAD. AS I LOOKED UP I SAW A LONG TABLE WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SCREAMING "SURPRISE!!", THEY ALL RECORDED AND TOOK PICTURES OF MY REACTION. I WENT 1 BY 1 AND SAID MY HELLOS AND AS I WENT TO TAKE MY SEAT MIKE GRABBED MY HAND. AFTER GRABBING MY HANDS HE SAID A FEW WORDS, GOT ON ONE KNEE, OPENED THE RING BOX, AND ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM. AFTER THE PROPOSAL WE ALL HAD AN AMAZING DINNER AND I WAS LATER SURPRISED WITH A RED VELVET CAKE THAT READ "SHE SAID YES".

TO MIKE:

YOU COULD NOT HAVE MADE THE NIGHT ANY MORE SPECIAL FOR ME. YOU HAD MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THERE JUST LIKE I ALWAYS IMAGINED IT. NOT ONLY WAS IT THE BEST BIRTHDAY TO DATE BUT ONE THE MOST SPECIAL NIGHTS OF MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. XOXO

-LOVE, JESSICA-
