On 11th July 2019, Joel Booth, 30, from Kalispell proposed to his girlfriend Kadie Latimer, 28 with the most beautiful gift that she will never forget.
The adorable pictures were taken at Montana’s Glacier National Park when Kadie was modeling for some local photographers. When she turned around Joel was there with a golden retriever puppy.
Kadie said: ”When I first turned around I was very surprised to see him holding a golden retriever puppy – my first question was whose it was,”
”When he replied, ‘This is our dog’ I didn’t believe him, especially with Joel being such a joker.”
”I asked if he got a dog, and he said that it was our new dog and then handed her over to me.”
”I looked at her name tag and it said “Kadie” and I initially thought he’d named the dog after me – but I looked closer and underneath it said ‘will you marry me?”
”My first reaction was to ask if Joel was joking, but then he got down on one knee and I knew it was for real. Everything was overwhelming in the best possible way!”
This was really one of the best proposals and it took place at sunset where Kadie was for her photoshoot. Joel thought it would be the best time and place to propose his girlfriend.
Joel said: ”Kadie is special to me and I wanted to do something special for her, that she wouldn’t forget,”
”I have had a male golden retriever for three years called Jackson, so it’s just been the boys for a while.”
”Since I knew I was getting the dog, I figured that would be a good time to purpose,”
”The photographers had asked me to model for them in the past and Kadie has done some modeling, so I reached out to Jeremiah and Rachel to see if they would ask us to do a couples photoshoot, kind of stage a fake reason to take pictures, and they really came through.”
”Kadie didn’t know it was all a setup – I had made it a couple of months with this plan and she hadn’t caught on.”
The pair decide to give their new friend a name and they decided to call the puppy ‘Bowie.’
”I had no idea that night was going to turn into one of the most memorable nights of my life and that I’d be leaving with a puppy and a diamond ring,” said Kadie.
