Earlier that day, Tamara was getting ready for Valentine's Day, unaware of what would happen. Raj had been planning to propose for a while and even dropped a few hints, but Tamara remained oblivious. At around 3 pm, they went to the Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show at Phipps Botanical Garden. They eventually arrived at the Broderie at Phipps, which had been cordoned off from guests entering. However, Lauren, one of the event planners who had assisted Raj with the planning, provided an excuse for the couple to enter. To Raj's delight, Tamara was still unaware of what was happening. After wandering around for a while, they were both captivated by the beauty of the flowers. After a few words of affirmation, Raj knelt and asked Tamara to be his partner for life.
