Well last night, April 30th, at the Hailstone home, the love of my life proposed to me!! I can't say that I have ever been happier! I am so in love with Brad and cannot wait to share time and all eternity with him. He is the most amazing man in this world. I honestly couldn't ask for more. I am so excited! He will be the best husband ever! I can't believe how lucky I am! What did I do to deserve such an amazing man!?
THE STORY...
Thursday night Brad and I sat down with my wonderful soon to be mother in law and my awesome soon to be sister in law and made some suggestions about what we wanted for out wedding. The two went to bed after and Brad and I discussed what we wanted, people to invite to our sealing, and arrangements after, as well as our honeymoon. :) Keep in mind this is Thursday. I didn't have a ring on my finger yet. So we set our date... June 3rd 2010.. Brad got on Friday morning and saw that the temple is going to be closed for cleaning. We had to push it to June 10th, 2010. Which thankfully is giving me an extra week to plan. Well Brad didn't have work Friday and neither did I so I booked us in at Timpanogos Temple June 10th and 11am. He said he was running errands with his mom. Well Later that day he asked if I would like to go to dinner. I said yes! Then he text me asking me for my moms number for his mom. He said that she wanted to call and coordinate some wedding planning with her. I gave him the number not knowing that it was really for him to get a hold of my dad. haha Well we went to dinner and I at dinner he seemed a little quiet and I was thinking hmmm... maybe we're going to go ring shopping after dinner when Brad told me, "I made a rough draft video for our wedding with the pictures I have of us. I need your baby pics and stuff so that I can finish but I think we should go back to my house and watch it and you can tell me what you think." I was excited :D YAY! So then I figured no ring shopping. I thought I hope he just surprises me. . .
Well we arrived at his house and went into the theatre room when he put the DVD in and came and sat by me on the couch. The video was so cute and the song on it is, "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz. We both LOVE the song. :D So I am watching it and half way through the song the screen goes black and I figured well that is it and it is so cute! I loved it! Right then on the screen the word "WAIT!" appeared and then it said, "THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO ASK YOU...."
I looked over to see him getting down on one knee and said, "Shantell, Will you MARRY me!?" OH MY GOODNESS! I freaked out haha! I said YES!!!!! And then jumped up and started hugging him to death and kissing him! I wanted to cry!!! I was so happy and it was all so surprising! Then after a few minutes of that we let go and he slipped the ring on my finger. My heart was racing like you could not ever believe! THIS IS REAL LIFE! I AM MARRYING THE MAN OF MY DREAMS, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND TIME AND ALL ETERNITY WITH YOU BRAD! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
The best part is that he picked out the ring himself. We didn't go ring shopping! I did not want to! I wanted it to be something that he picked out for me to wear symbolizing that I am married to him!!! And that is exactly how it happened! The ring is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen! I am sure my "mother in-law" haha, helped! Thank you!!! It's amazing! This is all a dream come true!!!
Well I am going to try to get sometime away from wedding planning and telling family and friends to create a new blog. New life -- New blog. haha! I just set up our new email if any of you want it email me at shantell.daley@gmail.com and I will get it to you. :)
