What a Surprise Proposal on Chicago’s Riverwalk!

Surprise Proposal Chicago // Riverwalk at Night

Luke was the man with the plan. Normally, planning a March proposal on the Chicago Riverwalk at night would require jackets, hats, and gloves. But the weather on this particular evening was a balmy 70 degrees! It was 35 degrees just a few days before and a few days after.

The plan started a post dinner walk along the Riverwalk. Their doggie would surprise her with a message…while Luke got on one knee.
