Planning a surprise proposal at the National Cathedral during cherry blossom season is already a challenge—but throw in a rainy forecast, and it becomes unforgettable! This LGBTQ surprise proposal in Washington, DC was nothing but truly beautiful, but… Austin had everything perfectly set for a romantic moment in the cathedral gardens, surrounded by blooming cherry trees. When the rain started, Jason almost bailed on the plan, insisting they skip the garden altogether.
Austin was pulling his hair out, wondering if this day would fall apart. But sometimes, the best moments are the ones you fight hardest for: the rain stopped just in time, Jason said yes, and their proposal photos are proof that even a little weather can’t stop real love.
