“Kacie is the biggest spy; she knows everything going on, and we were able to keep it a secret,” Cole told the outlet. “It surprised her, and that was the number one thing I wanted… We 100% included our daughter. We want to include her in everything we do. She’s our whole world and our whole life.”
Kacie admitted she was “caught off guard” by Cole’s November 7 proposal, as she assumed it was just another date night.
“I realized it wasn’t a prank when I saw Cole and Blair walk out, and the whole trail up to the gazebo was covered in flowers,” Kacie said. “I wanted a lot of flowers included in my proposal. I was very happy and very shocked.
“I started crying,” she continued. “I feel like I blacked out from emotion, so I couldn’t do anything. I was extremely caught off guard. I still can’t believe this happened.”

“I just think we need a little more time,” Kacie told her beau. “I don’t wanna get engaged just because it’s the next step in our relationship. I wanna get married because, like, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you… I don’t ever want us to not be together, but… I don’t wanna rush into anything. We still have time to fix things.”
