Travis (Ryan Merriman) and Lena (Kayla Ewell) have been happily dating for quite some time, and now Travis feels it’s time to take the next step in their relationship. But after purchasing a pricey ring, Travis loses his job and puts his grand plans to propose on hold. While Travis mopes about his unemployment, failed writing aspirations and ruined engagement plans, Cedric (Adam Korson), Travis’ brother, suggests taking Lena ‘glamping’ – or glamorous camping. Cedric claims it will set the perfect ambience for an unforgettable marriage proposal that Lena can’t say no to. But when Travis and Lena arrive at the camp site it’s anything but glamorous. After many failed attempts to make glamping romantic, Travis tries to propose over a campfire. His plan fails, however, when Lena takes the moment to inform him that she was accepted into a prestigious medical program in Munich. Not wanting to hold her back from her dreams, Travis tells her to go. During a sad drive home, Travis receives a call that’s he’s landed a three book deal. The good news gives Travis the confidence he needs to finally ask for Lena for her hand in marriage. Will Lena give him the answer he’s hoping for?
