Amanda and Declan tell Carisi that they're ready to take the engagement photos. They can't wait to see how to pictures come out. They want to take plenty of pictures so that they can frame them and send them to everyone.
"Okay. Get close together and show off the ring." Carisi says.

Fin gets the 'I stole her heart sign' for Declan and the 'So, I'm stealing his last name sign' for Amanda. They hold the sign as Carisi takes another picture.
"Good. Now we're finished with the signs that you just used." Carisi says.
Doom comes to where the gang is at and he sees that Amanda and Declan are taking engagement photos. He wonders what's going on. He finds a spot to sit and bought a chair with him. He decides to sit next to Fin.
"Hey, Doom. Long time no see." Fin says.
"Same here, Fin. Amanda said that she's doing her engagement photos today." Doom replies.
Doom puts his chair down and he watches as Amanda and Declan take their engagement photos. He can't believe that his best friend is getting married. It seems just like yesterday that they met.
"I can't believe that Amanda's getting married." Doom says.
"It seems just like yesterday when she first came to New York." Fin replies.
Carisi stops taking the pictures and decides that Jesse should be in the engagement photos. He walks up to Tony and he sees him playing with baby Jesse. She is Carisi's goddaughter after all.
"Mr. Rollins, can I borrow Jesse for a second? I want her to be included in the photos." Carisi says.
"Sure. She is your goddaughter." Tony replies.
Carisi takes Jesse to Amanda and Declan so that she can be a part of the engagement photos. He brings a sign that says and puts it on Jesse. She just sits there as she wears the sign. Carisi takes multiple pictures of baby Jesse with Declan and Amanda. After the pictures with Jesse are done, Carisi decides that Frannie is next.
