It's finally happened!!! Sam proposed on Feb. 12th and I said YES! Yay! Here is the story. It is oh so entertaining. Thursday was Burgundy and Trevor's wedding. I had invited Sam to go to the reception with me because I've been so anxious for him to meet my friends. 6:30 rolls around and I can't get ahold of Sam. He finally told me he had decided to stay late at work. I was so annoyed! Why would he stay late when he knew we had somewhere to be? Men! Anyway, we get to the reception late, which was fine. He met all my friends and they all thought he was great. (Who wouldn't?) Everyone kept asking when we were getting married and Sam kept making comments like "it's never gonna happen," and "maybe in 30 years." Needless to say, this bothered me.
We go into the ballroom as Burgundy is getting ready to throw her bouquet. Of course I just had to catch it. It went over my head and I Inspector Gadget grabbed it. The moment was in slow motion too. Then Trevor goes to toss the garter. Sam nabbed it with his super ninja reflex skills almost killing someone. And what does he say to me afterwards? "I shouldn't have caught it because now I'll have to propose someday." Mean.
We head to my car afterwards and are going to meet Cait and David at Wingers. My annoyance had built. Sam says, "lets go to my house. I want to drive my car." I said, "why?" He said, "Because I love my car." I said, "I bet you wish your car caught the bouquet."
We get into his car and Sam asks me to hand him his chapstick out of the center console. I lift it up and see a ring box! I stared for a second and then slammed it shut. "Oh my gosh! He forgot it was in here!" I thought to myself. Sam told me to open it and I was scared! I told him I thought he was joking. I thought it was all a scam. I opened the box and after a few minutes of staring he remembered to as those musical words, "will you marry me?" I said, "you're not on your knee," followed by "did you ask my dad?" (by this time i was crying like a baby.) Sam said yes, and so I said yes and started to sob. He asked if I was happy or sad. Haha. I was so happy!!! I couldn't stop smiling. My anger and annoyance was gone. Thankfully. By this time Caitlyn was calling me to see where we were. She was the first person I told, but she apparently already knew. Sam is like a kid on Christmas. He couldn't keep his plan to himself! (Sam had picked out the ring after work, that's why he was late.)
We went to my house and told my family and they were all SO excited!! I won't forget that feeling of total excitement and happiness mixed with the "oh my gosh my life is changing" feeling.
This wouldn't be so exciting if our friends and family weren't so over the top excited for us! Thanks to everyone who has supported us and been such great examples. We love you all!!
We will be married JULY 1st in the SLC Temple! Mark your calendars! It's gonna be a party.
