Nicole and R. J.'s Engagement
On December 14, 2004, Nicole said "Yes" to R.J.'s wedding proposal at Denver's Sushi Den, the location of their first dinner date.
   

U2 song lyrics rolled and tied with a bow as a gift to Nicole before dinner.
Dinner was full of tearful surpises, the biggest of all, a diamond ring.
R. J. places the ring on Nicole's finger for the first time.
Get ready!
Kiss.
Then, hug.
Engaged on December 14th, 2004, the 58th anniversary of my father's parents.
Excellant staff kept the secret, took photos, and offered a memorable evening.
A couple made in heaven, with the help of match.com. Insert cheesy ad here.
A radiant cut diamond engagement ring, flown in after my parents San Juan visit.
Frothy mocha, the same drink we shared on our first date at Stellas.
Spreading the good word to friends and family about the good news.
