I'M ENGAGED!

Okay- so a lot of people have been asking how James proposed, so I'm going to release the story...

THE PROPOSAL
I had been bugging James for the LONGEST time to propose to me already! I knew that he had talked to my parents the get 'permission' a couple weeks before. I kept bugging him and bugging him and he was like "well, how am I propose when you work every weekend?" And I said, "well I don't work next Wednesday or Friday." And he replied with, "Okay, be patient with me, I'm trying to plan this proposal for next Friday." (March 13th) So, I stopped bugging him and started to get excited for next week.

Well, this weekend, Friday and Saturday I was working a ton to get ready for our Prom Fashion Shows all day Saturday. The day was going really well and I was hoping that James would make it to our final show at 7. My coworker, Nicole's boyfriend was going to be at the show so I really wanted to have the support of my boyfriend too. Well, James text me during the day and said he had to play at the Temple open house and he didn't know if he could make it. Nicole (who was a part of the proposal) would make comments like, "well, if he doesn't come, don't be too tired, make sure you at least stop by and see him at his house." She made it seem that it would be okay if James didn't show up and that I would still see him later. Well, the 7:00 show started and I'm back stage telling the models when to go one stage by peaking through a hole in the curtain, when I saw James' mom standing outside the room. I thought to myself, hum - why is James' mom here? She had mentioned a few times before that she would love to come to one of my shows to see what I do, so I kinda figured she was just coming to see what I do for work. When the show finished and Nicole started saying "thanks for coming to our show. We would like to thank Dave our owner who is here. Jessie and Leslie for their help. Jessie and Leslie, please wave. And Jami who is back stage helping the girls. Jami, can you come on stage." So, I just peaked through the curtain and waved and then I looked down the runway and there was James, in his suit and tie, standing at the end of the runway. I seriously just froze, standing behind the curtain. Nicole finally said, "Go over to him" I gradually walked to the end of the runway and James said he loved me, knelt down on one knee. The audience was screaming! Now, keep in mind, a High School Prom Fashion show just ended so there were hundreds of people in the audience and 100 High School girls back stage watching this. He then grabbed my RIGHT hand. I had to say, wrong hand. So then he grabbed my left hand and asked if I would marry him. I'm pretty sure I said yes! We were both shaking so much he couldn't put the ring on my ring. I helped him out and the ring fits perfectly! His lovely parents were there recording and taking pictures! I was SO surprised!! I was not expecting it at all! We then got into the car and started calling and texting everyone. We are so excited to finally announce WE ARE ENGAGED!! We then headed up to Sundance for a romantic dinner at The Tree Room at Sundance. I was so excited about being engaged that when the waiter came to our table, I was like, We just got engaged - look at my ring! Ha, I love saying that I'm engaged and that I have a Fiancee!! I love James so much and I cannot wait to marry him JUNE 30Th!
