| | English translation:took the plunge | Explanation:
I play Call of Duty on PS3 (sad, I know). Anyway, in the game 決め撃ち is a technique where I guess there's another player in a certain postion (usually behind something), and without seeing him, start firing some rounds. This is a dangerous strategy because there might not be anyone there and I am putting myself in danger by perhaps giving away my position - I'm taking the plunge in trusting my instinct.
Perhaps ○○さん夫妻 are taking the plunge in visiting the architect as it would represent their first step on the road to a mortgage - quite similar to risking one's life!
