On April 4th, Gracie shared several photographs from the outdoor proposal on Instagram. The couple was surrounded by white candles and flowers on a wooden deck, creating a romantic ambiance. Derek, 26, got down on one knee in a sleek light gray suit, while Gracie donned a stunning white floor-length dress.
