When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

Our Engagement Story

I was scrolling through some pictures on my computer and found these pictures taken on the night Brett asked me to marry him. I realized I never posted them, so here they are with the story... I got home from dinner with my roommate, walked into my basement and this is what I found. Brett walked out of the back room, asked me to marry him, I said yes, and then the next thing I know there is live music coming from the back room- two guys (Spencer and Preston) - playing the guitar and singing. So we danced for a couple songs and it was awesome. He did accomplish the element of surprise because I had picked out a ring, but I knew it hadn't come yet... So he got a different ring to ask me with, which is the one in the picture. When my real ring came a few weeks later, we went hiking up the canyon, (once again I was totally oblivious to what was going on), and we got to the top where we could look out and see the sunset. He then asked, "do you wanna marry me still?", and pulled out my real ring. So really I got asked twice. Pretty lucky.
