Our engagement story

Jason called me on a Saturday afternoon and told me that my dad had been given free helicopter ride tickets and wanted to know if I wanted to use them that night. Of course that sounded way fun! So he picked me up that night for a fun outing. When we arrived at the executive airport and I could totally tell that Jason was nervous about something and assumed it was to fly! But boy was I wrong! When we checked in the man at the front counter wanted to know why our reservation was for just us on a busy Saturday night. At this point, I put it all together! I started to really suspect that he was going to propose. The helicopter took off and we were flying over the Las Vegas strip when the pilot suddenly turned off the music in our headphones. Jason turned to me and asked me if I wanted to know the real reason why we were up there, and I proceed to scream "I knew it!" He pulled out the ring and proposed! And I was pissed because there wasn't enough lighting to see my ring! But of course I said yes anyway! So that is the story...and we will be getting married on October 10th and we are so very excited to start our married life!

He was so excited but nervous about where he was going to put it so it wasnt showing or you could possibly feel it through his clothes...Luckily everything worked out and we are so exctied for you both!
