Death Valley Engagement Party

CLEMSON – Most marriage proposals are awkward affairs, with many grooms trying to find a different way to pop the question and show off the engagement ring. Clemson senior Daniel Stone set the bar high for all future grooms with his proposal Saturday.

Stone – a walk-on defensive end – decided to share his special moment with 80,000 members of the Clemson family when he asked his girlfriend, Morgan Helmendach, to marry him during his Senior Day festivities.

The Simpsonville (SC) native had been pondering ways to make the proposal special for several weeks but decided he couldn’t think of a better way to start a life with his future wife than with his family and Clemson nation.
