A Notre Dame Grotto Engagement: Last Night


One of my teammates, Brandon Tabor -- "popped the question" to his girlfriend Emily Kendall at the University of Notre Dame's Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes last night at 6:13 PM ET.  To say that Emily did not see this coming -- would be an understatement -- nor, the many surprised visitors at the Grotto, who were witness to this special moment...

Our team had a hand in orchestrating the surprise -- and Notre Dame alum Kaity Fuja '09,  from OMG Photography was kind enough to show up and capture the moment on camera.  You'll see in the photo sequence above; Brandon started out giving Emily a hug -- after they had lit a candle, then he drops to one knee...

Now Brandon admitted this morning that he was so nervous and excited -- he doesn't remember if the words "Will you marry me?" ever came out of his mouth.  I think the pictures confirm the ask...

Oh, by the way -- Emily said "YES!"
