Photo of ring disappeared from the internet.

Andrew writes with this exciting news:

“Hi Donnie!

Well, I am sure you have heard that Nicole and I are engaged! I wanted to shoot you over the story (its funny) of how it happened! I believe there’s a great picture of the ring on facebook that Andrea could get over to you…

It was a beautiful day in Boston, 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky and I thought I would head down to Piney Point Beach in Marion before we went to my parents house for Easter. Well, the weather in Marion is apparently a bit different than it is up in Boston because as we arrived at the beach, it was 48 degrees, foggy with cloud cover. I told Nicole that I hadn’t been to that beach in a while and thought it would be nice to stop by… She was a bit annoyed that I wanted her to get out of the car because it was so cold and rejected the idea at first because she did not have her jacket. I handed her my sweatshirt that I thankfully had in the car and we got out… As we walked up to the beach I had a blanket, two wine glasses and a small bottle of wine. She was very confused as to why I brought wine, but also thought it was cute that I had planned a little picnic. We walked up to the sand,we looked out at the water for a minute and she turned around and started walking to the car saying, “I’m cold and hungry, lets go eat dinner.” I had to convince her to come back and I got down on one knee and proposed to her. She didn’t believe it was real at first and when she did, the flood gates opened and the tears were flowing… After about 10 minutes she finally said yes.

Hope everyone is well! Talk to you soon!”
