Her side of the Proposal Story!

SO. We we got out on the park and started walking towards a spot to put the blanket down. We were supposed to have FHE that night with Randall's cousin and her fiance, however, I hadn't seen them anywhere when we started looking for a spot to sit. He had a picnic basket, brought me flowers when he came to pick me up, and looked really nice, so I thought something may be up. I asked where the other couple was and he said he wasn't sure why they weren't there yet, and he said he would text them. When we sat down, he said he got a text back from them and showed me saying that they would be late. Then I definitely figured he wouldnt propose because they were coming. He started getting out the food from the basket and we started eating some fruit and cheese and crackers. He also gave me a book on marriage which was really cute and I wondered if the FHE lesson would be on marriage...So we were eating the food, and I said that I should have brought something to drink and he said to look in the basket because there was something to drink in there. I looked inside the basket and there was two glasses with a martinelli bottle! I got so excited since I love sparkling apple cider. Then once I pulled out the bottle and the two glasses, there was a sign at the bottom of the basket that said, "Crystal will you marry me?" Then he got on one knee and proposed. It was so cute! Then he gave me a big hug and told me how much he loved me and of course I said yes!!!
We took lots of pictures and then went on our way. He said he wanted to take me out to dinner and then we headed to PF Changs. It was great because his mom was in town visiting her sister and her kids. They met up with us at the front of PF Changs while admiring the ring and congratulating us. Then Randall and I went to dinner to celebrate our engagement and ate lots of yummy delicious food.
It was a wonderful night in which we were up a while calling friends and family. Of course we didnt have time to call everyone so we called some the next day as well! It was a splendid night and I enjoyed every bit of it! I'm so happy to be engaged to my best friend and love of my life. We hope to get married on August 15th and have it be the best day of our lives! I can't wait!

Here are some more pictures from easter dinner and the proposal night

The Proposal




So here is the low down on how i popped the big question....

So i told Crystal that we were going to Rock Canyon Park to meet my cousin Jessica and her fiance Robbie for an FHE.. Little did she know that Jessica had no intention of coming :)


So we went into the park and began to have a little picnic with some fruit and cheese and crakers. And after a little while Crystal asked for something to drink and i told her there was some in the picnic basket so i slide it over to her to get it out. So she went to pull out the sparkling grape juice. And when she went to pull it out she saw the paper that is in the picture hidden beneath the juice and glasses. So when she saw it she gasp in suprise and as she did i pulled out the ring from my pocket and got on one knee and asked her to marry me. And she did the nicest thing and said yes!!!!
