After a couple of months of dating, Gary and I got engaged. He proposed to me on my 22nd birthday. He had me go on a scavenger hunt for my birthday gifts and all the clues led me to him dressed in a tux, standing among hundreds of burning candles. He dropped to his knee and told me how much he loved me. He asked me if I would marry him. How could I say "no" to a diamond for my birthday? Just kidding, I couldn't wait for the day he asked me to be his wife! We set our wedding date as March 11, 2006 at the San Diego, California temple.
Gary and I started dating in October of 2005. I was a student at Utah State University studying Special Education. Gary had just returned from his LDS mission in July and was working at Wingers in Logan. It all started when I went into Wingers with some friends after a late night class. Gary was our waiter and he gave me his number. After a bit of phone tag we were able to plan our first date.
Our first date was amazing! Gary picked me up in his awesome spray painted blazer. We went and picked out pumpkins to carve. We headed back to his house for some lunch and pumpkin carving. Life was great... no awkward conversations, it felt like I had known him my whole life! He took me home on a much better ride...a beautiful motorcycle. I was hooked!
