After school got out, we decided that Zach would drive me up to Washington with all my stuff and then spend a week or so up there meeting my family and such. So I told my friend Shawnta I was coming back in the middle of April and she came up with a date night idea so our boyfriends could meet and we could just have a really good time. Being the cute romantic she is, she told me that she wanted it to be really really romantic, with candles and rose petals and us dressed fancy, and of course I didn't think anything of it, because that's just how she is!
Around the same time Zach one day announced that he wanted to read poetry and I was like 'okay you're a super freak' Jusstt kidding... But seriously... So we went to an old bookstore in downtown Salt Lake and bought this cute little book entitled "More Heart Throbs". He read me a few poems that night and I decided he wasn't such a freak after all. In fact it was really cute and I actually liked it :)
Well when Shawnta found out he had a poetry book she told him to bring that to our date night so she could have her boyfriend read a poem and she would record it because she "doubted he would ever read her poetry so she had to take advantage of this opportunity" Again, I thought nothing of it because that's just how Shawnta is!
You must all think I'm pretty dense by now. Rude.
But anyway, THAT is the date night to which Zach and I were traveling on Saturday, April the 16th 2011.
We got to Shawnta's boyfriend's house and it was so cute! They had little candles and rose petals everywhere, chocolate covered strawberries, snacks, sparkling cider-they went all out and it was amazing! So we all talked for a bit and introduced each other and then Shawnta whipped out her video camera and said it was time for the poetry reading. What was going to happen was we would all go around and each read a random poem from the book, just for fun. She told Zach to start, since it was his book and well, this is what actually happened :)

I LOVE This Ring! |
*A special thanks to Shawnta's mom for putting together that amazing video for us :)
I was not expecting that at all! In fact I had begged him to propose to me in Washington, but every time he said no and that he was going to wait until August. He was such a brat too and would carry the ring around with him in the box and open it in front of me, but so I couldn't see it. And the morning we left Salt Lake, he showed me that the box was on his desk, and he was leaving it behind. So there went all my hope of being proposed to before August. Tricky trickster...
But that night he made me the happiest girl in the world. He's my very own Prince Charming, and I'm madly in love with him :)
