Doug nailed the proposal! He arranged for us to meet at Piha beach after work, the place where we first hung out two and a half years ago, and he had set up a picnic. Sitting there was a piece of plywood that he had spray-painted a giant engagement ring onto. He passed me a can of spray paint to tick the box with my answer but had strategically only painted a ‘yes’ box, and left out the ‘no’ box!
