Jesse truly created a movie-like proposal. Bree and Jesse did a “love session” with Rocker in Love a year earlier. So when Grasi reached out to Bree for another “love session,” Jesse seemed hesitant but ultimately agreed it’d be fun to see the Rocker in Love family. The week-of the “love session,” Grasi asked Bree if Jesse could bring his guitar to play some music as they’d like to capture some video this time. Bree said of course, just ask him, I’m super busy this week! The day before the “love session,” Bree asked Jesse if maybe we should cancel the Love Session since he didn’t seem too excited about it and Bree was super busy with auditions. Jesse said he felt like it was too close to cancel. On the day of, Grasi sent Bree the location of where to meet as they were wanting a much more “parks/nature” feel. “Hey, it’s close to where I used to live in Prospect Park.” On the train ride to the meeting spot, Bree spent maybe 15 minutes getting ready, was still painting her nails while also and working on audition and said we couldn’t do more than an hour of photos, as she had to get back home to get work done. Upon meeting Rocker in Love, Bree was trying to take everyone to the bridge in Prospect Park, but Jesse insisted we go over by the water. We walked over to the water and Bree told Grasi this is where we had our first date! (Still, truly, completely oblivious). 

Jesse got out his guitar and they sang “Indiana Girls”… as song Jesse wrote about and for Bree. In the spot where they had their first date almost 2 years ago, sushi and rose. Relaxing into it and having fun with the song, Bree was excited at the thought of all the fun shots they were getting. Still, totally oblivious. When he finished, Jesse asked Bree to grab his water. And on-looker complimented the song. “He wrote that song,” Bree said proudly, turning around to get Jesse’s water bottle for him. When she turned back around, Jesse was on one knee with a ring in his hand. “What are you doing?” were Bree’s first words, sincerely so surprised! Then he asked her to marry him, to which she said “of course I will.” Bree still didn’t realize for about another 30 seconds that Jesse had set the entire thing up from start to finish. Rocker in Love said they had to leave, and Jesse took Bree on a short walk to find her mom and sister, who flew in from Indiana, and Jesse’s family, waiting to surprise her with a sushi-rose picnic. It was all such a dream – such a thoughtful, meaningful, romantic, movie-like proposal. Bree truly couldn’t have dreamt up a better one and still gets teary-eyed talking about it today!
