Surprise Proposal | Junto Winery | Seward, NE

"YES!!"-Claire Miner

The night that Claire and Josh met, Claire was being approached by other guys left and right.  Luckily, to Claire's quick wit she was able to keep the other dudes away by telling them how she was engaged to Josh when in actuality they had just met. In fact, later that night he jokingly proposed to her and the rest has been history.  The next day Josh was talking with a buddy and Josh, so mesmerized by Claire, told his friend, "I'm going to marry that girl someday."  They kept in touch after their first meeting that night, did the long distance relationship thing, and then decided they couldn't live without each other. They needed to be closer to each other. Josh took a leap of faith, left his job in Minnesota, and made the big move to Nebraska to be with her. When Josh first met Claire's family it was at Junto Winery. So when he thought about where he wanted to ask the girl of his dreams to marry him, he couldn't think of a better place to do it.  Junto Winery was sentimental to them.  It just had to be there.  Josh meticulously, with thoughtfulness and romance in his heart, planned his proposal. They'd get to the winery, grab some wine, go on a walk to the garden area, propose, and then go back to enjoy live music and wine!  Little did Claire know that Josh had many surprises in store starting with a beautiful backdrop for her on their garden walk.  He swears he will never walk into a Michaels or Hobby Lobby ever again but pulled off one exquisite surprise.  He had picture frames from their dates, their initials, flowers, and an adorable sign.  But probably the most exciting for Claire, who is a HUGE Game of Thrones fan, was a personalized piece of artwork, he had created for them where they are dressed as characters from the show.  Between the excitement of the gorgeous ring and the artwork, he was loosing sleep!  Fast forward to the actual proposal, as Claire approached it she didn't realize the backdrop was for her until Josh stopped her and started spilling his heart out for her.  After he proposed he had one more surprise for her. Her family was waiting in the tasting room to be able to squeeze her and congratulate them.  Their love is so evident.  The way they look at each other, touch each other, and talk to each other.  Everything is done with love.  Congratulations, Josh and Claire!! Your love for each other is beautiful! Thank you for being here! This is Josh and Claire's proposal...
