Family and friends were in on the surprise, and ready to celebrate with them when they got to the ground.

"Two years ago was our first date here. I was a 4Her so I spent most of my summers up here showing and this means a lot," Aynsley said.

Austin said he wasn't nervous about proposing, but he was nervous Aynsley would have spotted some of their family members before he popped the question.
