He Proposed down Memory Lane.

February 16, 2013

The best day of my life so far.

Shawn came and picked me up at 12:30 and we went to the Monster Truck show. I thought that was so cute because I haven't been in 3 years. (aka our first date)

Then after the Monster Truck show, Shawn had another surprise for me.
"Is this just a surprise all day date babe?"-Me.
"Yes, you will love it."-Shawn.

So we got in his truck and started driving. He parked and we started walking. Next thing I knew, we were at an ice skating rink in Salt Lake. (another place we had a date) 3 years ago we went there for a date and we pretended like we were figure skaters and he fell on his butt.

Well this year, I fell on my butt.

Then after Ice Skating, Shawn told me he had reservations for a place to eat. So we went to Trolley Square and walked around and then went to Rodizio's Grill. SO YUMMY. (our first date) 

Throughout the date I kept thinking he would propose. I mean, it's a trip down memory lane. but as the day kept going and getting late, I thought for sure he wasn't going to. Maybe this is just a fun date because he just got payed. Maybe this is just a special date cuz he loves me. I dont know! But I thought for sure he wasn't going to propose.

Okay, back to the date.

So we are at dinner having a great time. We got talking about how much we love each other. Yes, we are a cheesy couple. and yes I love it. 

"What are we doing after this babe?"- Me.

"Well save room for dessert!"-Shawn.

"Okay then what are we doing? Going home?"-Me

"Well we have somewhere to be at 8:30"-Shawn

BUTTERFLIES. 

After dinner, we went to City Creek and got Cheese Cake at the Cheese Cake Factory. It was so crowded so we got it to go and ate it in the food court! 

Then it was 8:00 and decided to go look around in some stores. So we went to Cotton On (and I guess when we were in there his sister was in there but i had no idea) and then we went into Forever 21. 

Finally it was 8:20 and we started walking over to Temple Square. I didn't think anything of it because that's where we had our first kiss so I thought that was just our next stop down memory lane. 

He told me he had to go to the bathroom really quick so we just went inside the Joseph Smith building. he went into the bathroom and so did I. When I came out, he was no where to be found. I guess he really had to go. hahaha.

He finally came out and we got walking. We stopped in front of the temple where the Bride and Groom stand on that pillar thing to take pictures and he said "I can't wait to marry you in that temple". As we were walking he kept saying funny stuff. Okay not funny stuff, just cute stuff. but it was like he was nervous and trying to keep conversation.

We were the only ones walking around the temple except a couple photographers taking night pictures of the temple.

We sat down at the mirror pond and looked around. He then said,

Babe, I love you but I have a question. He stood up, and then got down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?"

Tears flooded my eyes as I looked down at the most beautiful ring ever. I kissed him, kissed him a lot. and said YES! He put the ring on my finger. I felt like i was in a dream. There were a ton of flashes and a video guy in my face. I turned around and his mom was taking pictures. and my mom was there and handed me flowers from Shawn. and then his sister was there and handed me a build-a-bear dressed like a bride and when i press the foot it plays our song!

My mom and dad were there. and his mom and dad and sister. It was so special. Then I realized the photographers taking pictures of the temple, were actually there for US! The videographer was actually the videographer who is filming our wedding. Shawn and my mom called him to come video the proposal!

And so when Shawn was in the bathroom taking forever he was actually talking to the videographer and Barlow (the videographer) was hooking him up to a mike under his jacket.

I am so happy and so in love with this boy! I can't wait to spend forever with him.

June 22, 2013 is our wedding date :)
