Derek took Clair on a "surprise" trip to New Orleans. On Saturday afternoon, after a lot of walking around, shopping, and taking pictures, they went up to a little balcony overlooking Jackson Square for some gin and tonics. As Clair sat reviewing the photos she'd taken earlier, Derek took the ring out of his pocket and popped the question! All Clair had to do was say, "YES!"
