On Friday evening, May 14, Joe suggested to Melissa that they take a walk to a park, near where they live in Austin, Texas. Earlier in the day, big brother Sam, had helped Joe pick up the custom-made diamond ring from the local silversmith, clean the park bench where the proposal would take place, and keep park goers from sitting on the bench before the appointed proposal time. Joe gave Melissa a glass bottle of Coke and two lollipops, symbols of their first date when they were in the Peace Corps in Panama together. She said yes to the proposal, and Joe brought out of his backpack some wine he had brought back from Argentina last year, plus two engraved wine glasses.
