This Groom Proposed While Wine Tasting in Napa Valley

When it was time to make his intentions clear, Cody called Alexa's parents to plan a private get-together. "My mom immediately knew what it was about, and [my parents] told him that he had their blessing," she shares. With the help of his soon-to-be mother-in-law, Cody found the perfect ring and began planning his surprise proposal – which would take place during the pair's annual vacation to San Francisco.

Cody set up a private tour of popular Napa Valley wineries – complete with a sommelier who shared the history of each wine; however, he had a surprise up his sleeve. On their third stop, they had a catered lunch at an altitude of 1,500 feet overlooking the beautiful scenery. Cody planned to have his beloved open her boxed lunch to find a note that read, "Alexa, will you marry me?" "After all the wine we tasted that morning, I completely missed the note and went straight for the turkey sandwich," laughs Alexa. At that moment, the anxious groom-to-be went off script to get his beloved on the same page and asked her to be his wife. She adds, "It was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't be happier with our day!" 

Their surprise proposal was also caught on camera. Following the sweet exchange of the sparkling engagement ring and a resounding "yes!" from Alexa, a photographer snapped images of the happy, newly engaged couple at the picturesque winery.
