photos.

in an effort to stay connected with the blogging world, for all of you who don't have a facebook (ahem, ahlin g.):

here are just some of the many, many, many engagement photos kyle & I took last weekend.

my dad came up from Arizona to shoot us, and was so very patient with our silliness :) but man, was it worth it! he got some truly killer shots, and we had such a blast in provo, downtown slc, the flats...pretty much all over utah! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer :)







I just love this man :)
(sorry for my gushiness, but hey, I'm getting married!!)

engaged engaged engaged.

want an update?

kyle & I are engaged!!

want the story?

So. Here goes.

Kyle & I have been wanting to get engaged/be engaged/be married for a while now, haha. He had already called my dad and asked formal permission to marry me. He told me two days before we got engaged that we wouldn't be able to get engaged for another two weeks, due to ring technicalities.

I wasn't at all mad at Kyle, but my parents were supposed to be coming into town to do dress shopping and engagement photos.
Let's just say I was slightly upset about the whole thing. The only thing going through my head was: "One more thing going wrong!"

The next morning, I got to work at 8 a.m., the only one there that early. Kyle texted me and asked me if I had seen the note he left me at the boutique, so I walked over there and saw a beautiful black book, from my sweetheart!

I started reading our story, written by Kyle. He wrote our whole story over the past 3 years, from meeting in class to our weekly lunches and phone calls, to dating long distance for 7 months, to meeting the parents.

On the last page was a letter to me, and at the bottom, he wrote that I had to call him. No, but seriously, I had to call him. I called him, and he showed up right there! I was already in tears because I couldn't believe I had been so upset when I had such a sweet boyfriend.

I still had NO idea he was proposing, I just thought he was trying to make up for it and doing something sweet.

He told me to keep turning the pages...and each page said:

Will
You
Marry
Me?




He cut out a heart in the middle of possibly 50 pages and taped a ring in the center
(not the one I had picked out!)

He couldn't wait long enough to see my reaction to the "wrong ring," and pulled out the ring I loved, saying,
"And actually, we're not going to use that one, is it ok if we use this ring instead?"

What a funny boy :)



I am the happiest girl alive right now. I am marrying my best friend, the most wonderful man I know, and I cannot wait for eternity with him.

Now,
cue the craziness...
