The first week in January we decided to start looking for rings. We went to probably 6 different places and I was really frustrated. All the mall stores had nothing I even liked and they just seemed dirty. I found a ring at M.J. Christensen, but it was way more expensive than I would let Weston spend. When we got home his mom told us that her uncle might be able to make my ring since her also did Weston's sister's ring. We looked up the ring online and he emailed his uncle all the details of what I wanted, which of course was a lot of details.
We went up to Provo this past weekend for the UNLV vs. BYU basketball game and were supposed to pick up the ring. Weston told me while we were up there that his uncle had to go to a jewelry convention in Arizona so the ring wouldn't be ready. I was a little bummed because it was just more waiting I would have to do. I asked if he was lying to me so I wouldn't know when i was getting the ring and he told me he wasn't. He said his uncle would mail him the ring when it was ready.
This Tuesday, February 8, was our 2 month anniversary. Weston told me when we first started dating that he is a romantic. Well, last week I told him that even though he says he is, he hasn't really shown me a lot of romance. He told me not to make plans on our anniversay because he was going to prove he can be romantic. After work I met him at his house and we went to P.F. Changs for dinner since we both have been wanting to go there. He wanted the second part of the date to be a surprise, but needed a little help figuring out how to get to the Flamingo Hotel. I realized when he asked me that, that we were probably going to the Donny and Marie show :) I asked him if his dad helped him get those tickets, since Marie is in his ward and he said yes. I was actually really excited to see the show even though I haven't acted like that in past. We sat in a V.I.P. booth with a few other people. It was a funny show and Marie Osmond's voice is so beautiful! During the show I started to wonder if Weston was going to propose and that I hoped he wouldn't do it on stage. I tried feeling his pockets without him noticing to see if I felt a jewelry box, which I didn't. We went to a meet and greet after the show and got to take pictures with Donny and Marie. Their manager told us that our pictures would be Comped, but we would have to wait about 30 min for them to be ready. I told Weston I wanted an ice cream cone so we went out onto the strip to see if there was a McDonald's nearby. There wasn't, but Weston loves frozen hot chocolate and Serendipity's was across the street. We walked over there and they were closed so we walked back across to the Flamingo. We both have bad sweet tooths for ice cream so we decided to share a milkshake from Johnny Rocket's. By the time we got our shake it was time to pick up our photos. Ew one of them I look like I have a double chin! It was really nice of them to give the pictures to us for free though. We got back to the car around 10:30 and I told Weston I was sad because by the time we got back to his house we would only have half an hour to hang out before I needed to get to bed. He just brushed it off and said we could still hang out. On the car ride home my legs were itching really bad because I was wearing skinny jeans and I asked Weston if I could change into some of his PJs when we got back to his house. I was on the phone with Mom when we walked inside the house, but apparently his mom asked what he was doing because he was supposed to take me through the backyard. I changed into his Santa Claus golfing pajamas and when I came out I heard his mom tell him there were blankets outside. I glanced outside and saw some lights near the spa. Right then I thought either he was really trying to be romantic or I might be getting proposed to. He walked down the stairs and told me to put his slippers on. When we went into the backyard there were candles all around the spa and the firepit was lit. I told him he was so romantic and he handed me two dozen hot pink roses when I sat down. He asked if I wanted to make s'mores and I said sure even though I was still really full from the milkshake. He started eating his really fast and after he put eveything back int he bag I noticed his hand by his side. I glanced up at the house and saw someone watching us from upstairs, so I thought maybe it really was going to be the proposal. He said, "Chelsea I love you." So, I said, "I love you too." Then he said, "I will always love you." He stood up next to me then got on one knee and asked if I would marry him! I told him of course I would! It was so exciting and the ring was more than I could have imagined. I know that Weston is the man I am supposed to marry and I am so grateful I found him! The wedding will be May 7 in San Diego and our reception will be May 21 in Las Vegas.
