Quick note – Before reading this post to get ideas for your proposal, I want to mention that proposing on the Retro Boat docks is no longer allowed. No worries though! Let’s talk about other nearby spots. Or consider proposing on the water during your boat ride.

Andrew told Jane that they were renting a vintage boat to ride around Lady Bird Lake. This was true, but he didn’t tell her the whole truth. 😜 They live downtown, and Andrew knew the lake would be the perfect backdrop for his proposal.

They walked down the dock to the boat, Jane saw a bouquet of flowers waiting for them, and you know the rest. 💍

Afterward, we took some photos on the dock, and then I jumped in the boat with them for some engagement photos. As we approached the South Congress Ave Bridge, Jane noticed a big group of people standing above. They held a banner that read “Congrats Jane & Andrew”. 🥹

We rode back to the dock, where their family and friends were waiting! After lots of hugs, the whole group walked together to a nearby rooftop patio that overlooked the city. They shared snacks, toasted champagne, and had a great time hanging out.

Congratulations, Jane & Andrew! #MarryMeMonday🥂
