Make Up for last week's Memory Monday!

So I was sick last week, hence no memory. So here it is. I am going to be continuing the story of Aaron and I for this post and the next.

So we dated for about 6 months, and we were talking marriage. I was having a problem though. I was only 17, and still in High School. I didn't want to regret not living my life, and just getting married as soon as possible! So I graduated a semester early, and moved up to Utah to have my "on my own" experience! It was great, and I am so glad I did it! But I missed Aaron like crazy, and after living so far away from him for about 4 months, I realized that I was really ready to be married, especially to Aaron! So one visit he made up to Utah, we decided on the day to get married. I can't say that all family members were thrilled. I will just say there were a few that were skeptical...That's all. So we started planning the wedding while I was still living in Utah, but there had not been an official proposal, so it felt a little weird to tell people, even though I was so excited that I told everyone anyway.

When My family came to pick me up in May, and help me move back to California, the expected surprise came! If that makes sense! I knew he would be proposing, but I didn't know when! He concocted a whole plan. We were in Orem doing tux fittings for my brothers and Aaron, and my cousin Jamie called. She asked if I could pick her up at the Provo Temple, because here mom was doing a session at the temple, and she was dropping off her car. So she needed a ride home. I told her we could take her home. They're lucky I'm so nice other wise this would not have worked! :) When we go to pick her up, Aaron was acting unusually strange. She got in our car, and we pulled up next to the fountain right in front of the temple. (Side note: we were borrowing my parents car to run these errands, and they had called a few times wondering where we are, so I was stressing a little bit on time!) Aaron stops the car in front of the fountain, and says lets take a picture. I hesitate, but say "ok, but we have to hurry!" We go stand by the fountain, Jordan snaps a picture of us, and I am getting really frustrated because we are so short on time, and Aaron is wasting it away with this stupid picture! He says to me, "Hey, this is where we were when I first told you I loved you!" I reply with "Yeah, I love you too, lets go!" And I start to walk away! In One motion, he pulled me back and got on one knee! I was shocked, but it was so cute! I absolutely loved it, and we later found out that my parents were just anxious for us to get back so they could hear all about the proposal that hadn't happened when they called. (I feel like I am rambling and none of this makes sense!) I was so surprised!
