In 2019, on the day after Thanksgiving, Mr. James proposed to Ms. Myer in Lafayette, while the couple was in town to celebrate Mr. James’s grandmother’s 90th birthday.
“With a turkey carcass for Aaron’s dog in hand, I walked into a room lit with candles with Leon Bridges’s ‘Beyond’ playing, and I knew what was about to happen,” Ms. Myer said. “I immediately put down the carcass and slipped off the rings I had adorning my left ring finger.”
