"Oh my God. I remember this." Amanda says.

Amanda and the gang look at her wedding scrapbook. She is happy to look through her book. Her father is glad to share this moment with his daughter. Declan takes a look at the book.
"Before Amanda and I got engaged, she showed me this book and I was impressed. I saw a picture of an engagement ring that Amanda wanted and I bought one that was just like it. When I proposed, she was so excited to see the ring, she said yes." Declan says.
"How did you propose, Declan?" Christina asks.
"We had a christening for Jesse and we decided to have a party after. Olivia said that we can have the party at her house. We catered food from her father's restaurant. It was delicious. I made a speech about Jesse and then after, I got down on one knee and asked Amanda to marry me. I was excited that she said yes." Declan replies.
"Who did you pick for godparents?" Christina asks.
"Carisi is Jesse's godfather and Reese is Jesse's godmother." Amanda replies.
The whole gang expect baby Jesse, Declan and Amanda leave the apartment after their lunch party. A few hours later, it's dinner time and Declan orders a pizza.
