Marine’s Surprise Proposal: Family Photos Turn Engagement Celebration

Share

After returning to Tyler’s dad’s house, she found the house full of her family and their closest friends.  To her surprise, Tyler grabbed a megaphone and headed outside to “make an announcement”.

With friends and family around the backyard, Tyler got on one knee and proposed!  Jennifer is known for being spunky and bright, so of course she broke out into a little happy dance!
