Thelen was so incredibly nice from the first time we talked on the phone about his beach proposal. We talked through everything – which beach to go to, what restaurants they should visit and how the proposal would go down. We decided to meet at one of the beach accesses on Longboat Key. I brought a good friend of mine to be my sidekick and we approached them walking on the beach. “Will you take a photo of us?” As she was taking our photo, Thelen got down on one knee just behind her. It was perfect! I had so much planning this with him, and finally meeting both of them was amazing. I’m so happy for you two! ♥
