Want to know one way to seal the deal!? Ask Josh, who gave Morgan the proposal of her dreams! After taking Morgan to get a drink just down the street, Josh then led Morgan to the rooftop of the first apartment building that they lived in together, overlooking Lake Michigan and amidst the Chicago skyline. Complete with a floral arch and romantic set up from Thistle and Plume, cheers from below as they yelled over the rail “WE’RE ENGAGED” for the whole city of Chicago to hear, and a mystical and magical fog that overcame the city right as she said, “YES!”, this proposal was one all current boyfriends are taking details notes on.
