He revealed to a news outlet that they “went and had a great dinner and laughed and had champagne.” He further revealed how Aimee actually thought someone had broken into their apartment and was quoted as saying:
“Then we took an Uber back to our apartment. I had rose petals on the ground and a table set up with candles. We walked in the apartment and she was like, ‘What’s going on here? Did somebody break into our apartment?’ She was looking at a table, trying to figure out how a candle got lit. When she turned around, I was down on one knee with a really pretty ring, and I asked her to marry me. She kind of gasped and then muttered yes. It was sweet and intimate.”
