A Los Angeles hiking trail by a waterfall was the setting Nicholas Carpenter chose to propose to Bridget Marquardt. It was a trail the couple used to visit, and he planted a fake spider ring in the dirt there as a decoy before producing the real diamond spider. The outdoorsy, playful proposal from 2015 preceded their long engagement and eventual private wedding.
