Engagement

I can't think of a better way to spend Valentines, than helping my brother propose to his girlfriend! Thanks to the connections of my dad, Kristopher was able to pull off an incredible proposal. He had originally planned on proposing to her on the Salt Lake Temple grounds on Valentine's Day. When my dad heard of his plan, he made a comment that the Choir which he sings in, has their rehearsals Thursday nights and this one happened to fall on Valentine's Day. They practice right on temple square, and my dad thought he might be able to get something arranged with the choir to make the proposal more special. So, Justin, Daniel, Ann, my mom and I all went down to the tabernacle with a dozen red roses for Brianna, hid in the "cry room" in the back, and waited for Kristopher and Brianna to come into the tabernacle to listen to the choir rehearse while they waited for their dinner reservations. After the choir warmed up for about 20 minutes, the President of the Choir, made some opening announcements before the rehearsal got underway. In the announcements he mentioned that in order to remind everyone what Valentine's Day is all about, there are two special guests in the audience. Then he introduced Kristopher and Brianna and said, "Go ahead, Kris." Kristopher then got down on his knee in front of the whole choir and orchestra and asked Brianna to marry him. The women of the choir started gasping, and clapping, and then the whole choir and orchestra started singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" for Kristopher and Brianna. The rest of us ran out of the "cry room" with the roses and hugged them and took pictures and videos. It was such a fun way to spend Valentines. Congratulations Kristopher and Brianna!!

Happy Valentine's to my sweetie!

Waiting for the happy couple to arrive!



Hiding so they can't see us through the glass!
