"Blew all my dreams out of the park": Jake Evans' fiancée Emily Flat recalls magical engagement event organized by Canadiens star
Jake Evans of the Montreal Canadiens proposed to his fiancee, Emily Flat on June 18, 2023. Emily shared their engagement story in an interview with Safia Ahmad of NHL.com.
Emily and Jake met in 10th grade through mutual friends. Emily felt comfortable with Jake from the start. His dedication towards hockey was clear even in high school. He kept distractions aside and maintained a strict regimen that attracted Emily.
Jake's engagement proposal exceeded Emily's expectations. He involved her best friends and family. He asked her parents for permission beforehand.
"He blew all my dreams out of the park. It was crazy. He got all my best friends and family members involved. He asked my parents for permission and surprised me at my friend’s cottage at a beautiful lookout point. He did a good job," Emily said (via NHL.com)
The location of the proposal was a lookout point. It was decorated with pillows, champagne, and candles. Jake Evans even FaceTimed Emily's mom for final touches.
"He even set up really nice pillows, champagne and candles at the lookout point, and FaceTimed my mom before I arrived..." Emily continued.
After the proposal, they celebrated with friends and family over dinner and champagne.
"We walked down, and all our best friends and siblings were there waiting to pop champagne, have dinner and party with us," Emily added.
At home, Jake is known for his humor and positivity. He makes Emily laugh with his silly nature. Even if he's having a busy career, Jake makes sure to balance seriousness with fun. The duo share household chores based on who is busier.
"I would say 50/50," Emily said. "It sort of depends on who’s had a busy week, who’s stressed out."
Jake Evans vacuums after games to burn off energy. Emily encouraged him to resume this habit.
Jake Evans also holds a Business Degree
The interviewer further asked Emily about Jake's career plans if he weren't a hockey player.
Emily responded and believes Jake would be a coach, gym teacher, or work in finance if not for hockey.
"I’ve actually asked him this. He said three things: Minor league or university hockey coach, gym teacher, or he’d work in finance. He’s sneaky smart; he has a business degree, which I think some of the guys make fun of him for, like, “Yeah, sure, you’re lying," Emily concluded.
Jake Evans gave Emily a vinyl record player which is one of her favorite gifts. They enjoy listening to records while cooking or with friends. Emily loves Fleetwood Mac, while Jake prefers Coldplay. They gift each other new records for special occasions.
