You walk out your door, you're like sweating your ass off. And the proposal is going to take place at a park. And it's going to be scheduled for the middle of the afternoon. So like hottest part of the day. So the day of the event comes around and Jane is pretty insistent that we drive together because the park we're going to is about 30, 40 minutes away from where we both live.

She's like, we can save on gas money. Let's go together. I'm a little skeptical because I don't know Jane very well. Like we got along fine enough, but I'm like, this is going to be a lot of small talk. I'd rather listen to a podcast in the car or something on my way. But she's pretty insistent. I'm like, sure, why not? So we drive. It's fine.

We make our way to the park and park in the parking lot. And she's sort of giving me the lowdown on how this is going to go. The proposal is going to take place at this big overlook at the top of a giant hill. It's gorgeous. You can see for miles. Perfect place to get engaged. But to get to the overlook from the parking lot, you have to walk up this really long winding path. Wow.

To get to the top. It's like a wide concrete path. And you can think about it kind of like a giant switchback. It's kind of like in a U shape. And to get to the top, it takes like 30 minutes.

It's a full hike. Yeah. So the plan for the couple is for them to park and take this nice leisurely stroll through the park. And then he'll propose at the top. So Jane and I get out of the car and she's like, you know, I really feel like we could save some time if we find an alternate path up to the top of this overlook.

She's like, I'm looking at the map and I see that if we avoid the long winding path, we can cut straight up the side of this hill through the woods. I'm like, this is not what I signed up for today, but okay. So we make our way up this hill. I really am shocked we didn't get poison ivy. We're like pushing branches out of the way, climbing over logs. It's really intense.

We've got camera bags on our shoulders and it's so miserably hot outside. So I'm like, oh my gosh, we're both panting. We're most of the way up to the top. And Jane's like, I really need to find a bathroom when we get up to the top. Jane's become unhinged. It's a public park. I'm sure there's a bathroom up at the top. We're a little closer and we can now see the path.

Can I pause you for one second? I know what happened. Do you?
