I hope you all had an amazing Mother’s Day. We love you moms! Today I thought I would share a proposal close to my heart. Many people ask whether Kyle, my husband, felt added pressure when he was planning his proposal and how he asked me. Valid questions. Simply U Proposals started after he popped the question so although like most men he was a little nervous, he didn’t have any extra pressure. Phew! Now, for how Kyle asked, he put together this video to share our proposal story with family and friends, and of course for me to watch and relive that “Yes!” moment. I thought it would be more fun for you to hear Kyle’s perspective on why and how he proposed. You can read his story below. Thanks babe!
From Kyle:
So I’m sure many of the readers out there have the same questions that I get all the time when I first tell them what my wife (Heather) does for a living. “How did you propose?” “Did you inspire her to start this business?” Everyone pretty much just wants to know if my proposal was creative or is it Heather’s inspiration for doing her job. So, here is my story. You be the judge…
Heather and I, like a lot of couples, knew for a while that we were each other’s lobster for quite some time, and had discussed when we wanted to get married. This is the info that I had to work with: we wanted a summer wedding, Heather wanted around a year engagement and wanted to wait until after she graduated CU Boulder to be engaged. Heather was living back in Southern California after she graduated. I was in pilot training for the Air Force in Mississippi and unfortunately had very little time off. Oh, and one other thing, we both really wanted to get married!
Heather was out visiting for a week or two and I had a long weekend for Memorial Day. I planned a trip down to the coast and said that we were gong to visit our good friend, Adam, down in Florida. I planned for us to stay at a nice resort and played it off like I got a really good deal. We drove down on Friday and were staying until Monday. We went and hung out with Adam on Friday night. The following day we hung out at the beach and that night I told her that it was a date night. So we went out for a nice dinner that overlooked the beach. I planned on proposing at sunset but Heather decided to order coffee, which I anxiously watched her drink as the sun was setting. Following dinner, we went for a walk on the beach to get some dessert. When we were all alone, just the two of us on the beach, I proposed. The summer Heather and I started dating (back in college) we spent most of our time at the beach. This is why I choose to propose there because it’s where it all began. The previous night I had given Adam one of our keys so while we were on our walk, he decorated the room with pink roses (her favorite), rose pedals, candles, champagne, and her favorite dessert. The next two days, we treated as a little celebration vacation.
That’s our proposal story! I love you Kyle. Our wedding photographer also put our engagement photos together which were taken all around Park City, UT. If you haven’t been able to visit Park City, it’s worth the trip! Heather and Kyle Engagement.
Love,
