Our engagement story

This is for those who have not heard the story, being biased I believe it to be the perfect moment.

First of all it was the day before my birthday and Dallas said he wanted to go show me the Manti temple, which I had never been to. I was really excited. At the time I had a learners permit and he allowed me to drive most of the way to the temple. He had bought me a cd I had wanted forever and we listened to it all the way there and back.



It was kind of cold that day, but when we got there we walked around the grounds. It was so beautiful. He was acting kind of weird, but he denied anything was on his mind. By the time we got around to the back of the temple, we sat down on the bench overlooking the field below.

He asked if I would like to have another present, so of course I said yes. He took out a dog collar, I immediately got excited, because I had told him I wanted a puppy.

"Oh, my goodness you got me a puppy," I said.

His face was priceless, as he responded," No, I didn't get you a dog."

I was so sad, because I believed he had got me a puppy. Confused I asked why he gave me a collar. He responded that it was for the future and asked what was on the collar. I had been so wrapped up in getting a puppy, that I had missed the ring on it.

That is when he took it off and he asked me if I would marry him, I didn't hesitate. I said yes. Even though I had always teased that I would say something like, "oh, I'm sorry. I did not mean to mislead you, but I'm afraid I have to say no." I was too happy though.
