Patrick proposed August 4, 2009 after we had played in a scrimmage game and just before his men’s game. The guys were all on the mound pre-game and one of the guys, Erik, called me over to bring the book since I keep score for them. While I ran out, Patrick displayed the ring to the rest of his team. I was oblivious to Patrick’s intentions but took the book out and handed it to them. I started to walk back to the dugout when several people said, "No wait! Come back!". I turned around and there was Patrick down on one knee! It was perfect! Sweat, dust and all!
We don't have pictures of the proposal, but here are the pictures taken afterward.
