Our Proposal

Our Proposal 

I am still speechless about Tyler and my proposal.  Tyler kept the planning of the proposal a secret for months.  He started planning and meeting with a jeweler in June and proposed on Friday, September 27, 2013.  We went out to dinner three days prior for our anniversary and I thought Tyler might propose.  Tyler knows me well and knew I would be thinking that - so he did not.  Tyler caught me completely off guard and the proposal was a complete surprise.  I walked into our apartment from work and heard You're the Inspiration by Chicago playing (this has always been our song).  As soon as I heard the music, I froze at the door.  I knew what was about to happen, but I thought to myself - could this really be happening?  This only happens once...I am in gym clothes...Ahh!

For those of you who know Tyler well, you know he puts 110% effort into any goal he sets.  The proposal was no exception.  Tyler thought of every detail from every angle for our proposal.  He sat on our kitchen counter for three hours waiting for me to get home - just in case I got out of work early.  He custom designed my ring and hand picked out the most perfect diamond.  He engraved and personalized a leather book for us - in our wedding colors.  He filled the pages with hand written notes and photos of us.  He made us dinner reservations and reservations to stay the night - at 8:30pm giving me plenty of time to make phone calls and time to get out of my gym clothes and shower and get ready.   


Our proposal was the perfect foundation for the start of the next chapter in our lives.
