Cook added that he was asking the woman with whom he shared some of the greatest times of his life to marry him. Taylor chimed in as well, saying:
"The second he began to reach for his back pocket, my stomach flipped. I couldn't have asked for the moment to have been more perfect. All that was going through my brain was, 'Wait, is this actually happening right now? Is he proposing?'"
She added:
"I was also just really focused on what he was saying to me because I was trying desperately to etch the words into my brain. They were so beautiful, I really wanted to soak it in."
Cook said that he had been planning the proposal for a long time and decided to do it during their trip to York Beach, Maine because it has been his favorite spot since childhood.
