I purchased the ring on a Friday and they said that it would be ready and sized by tuesday so i should come pick it up then. I decided that because i wouldn't be able to pick it up until later that evening i would probably just propose the on Wednesday, which is the day after i would pick it up. So the weekend went by and we just did our normal thing. I don't really remember what we did but it was fun i'm sure. We had successfully convinced Bethany that I didn't purchase the ring that she liked and she was way bummed. By we I mean Scott Ogden and Jessica Vandermark.
When Tuesday woke up I realized that there was no no no no NO way I could wait until Wednesday. So I made a plan. I told Bethany that i wouldn't need to get picked up because had to stay after and work on a project. Jessica took me to go get the ring and then i walked over to Bethany's house. Prior to this event I had asked Bethany to make dinner early so we could go watch the biggest loser (one of our favorite shows) and eat dinner together when I was done. So i walked over and put a yellow rose on her car to surprise her. I went upstairs and guess what? Bethany hadn't made dinner and was just barely starting. I was so anxious to pop the question! it was really hard to be that patient but really worth it. So like 45 minutes later we packed up the dinner and we started towards my house. She let me drive and instead of driving to my place i said that i wanted to go for a walk. She pretty much knew at this point what I was going to do. We parked outside of Helaman Halls, which is where we lived when we were freshman, and we got out and started walking through it. We went by the hole in the bush, the back door to Hinckley Hall, through the quad, stover lobby, the field to the north, and ending at the pavilion. All of these places are special for their own reason. The pavilion is where we had our first kiss on December 15, 2006. That's where i popped the question. I said some nice things and she said yes. The rest of my life started. All of a sudden it really was the next best two years. Life was GREAT! So we're happy.
Come to our wedding reception!
