The Sweetest Proposal on YouTube - You Will Cry

We didn't go to the same high school, so we didn't get to go to a school dance. That's kind of where the theme came from, is I wanted to take her to a dance. Before this I wanted a flashback, a memory lane with me and Julia. I knew that we had a lot of memories and a lot of things that made the relationship what it is today. So I decided that I wanted to have a place where I could be able to walk her through my memories, our memories, and talk to her and express to her how much I fell in love with her and how grateful I am for those memories and those things that we had. Julia kind of had a checklist. I always thought I wanted something special between me and him, something simple. She wanted her nails done. She wanted a secret photographer. She wanted it to be a very intimate moment with no one else, but she wanted family to come after. And so it was hard for me to sit there and try to figure out how to fit all these things in and make her happy. And that's why we decided for Valentine's it was going to be a throw-off date. I was going to take her to a photo shoot, so I took her to go dress shopping for her nails to get done. I took her to a place to get her hair done. And then Valentine's came. We went and did the photo shoot in the morning. And he seemed really nervous about the date. I wanted to make sure that we got good pictures and just different things and the date went well. And I think she was taking that as I was stressed for other reasons. So I think she was thinking that I might propose and I think some of that stress she thought was going to that. Driving back after the photo shoot, she was like, what's the plan now? Where are we going? What are we doing this? When's dinner? He didn't tell me where we were going, so I was asking lots of questions, thinking maybe it's Valentine's Day. I know lots of people get proposed on Valentine's Day. Maybe it's happening today. We came back and I cooked her a dinner at my house. It was a candlelight dinner set up. He cooked me steak and noodles and it was just so romantic. And I knew, I thought this could be the time he proposes to me. I made it seem like I really was going to and I just didn't. Everyone was like, what the heck? This was such a perfect moment. Why didn't you propose? But no one knew that this was all just set up. This was just getting ready for that next week. So leading up to it, that week, just getting everything ready. Stressed about trying to get everything taken care of with work and not take too much time away from her so something seems up. I met with Tyson that week. We're out here in Santaquin with Zeb and Haley. There's a dance studio in here and I'm going to be setting up pictures and walking through mine and Julie's relationship. This is the way that we're going to be coming down and we're going to be walking through this back door here. Along that wall and then along that wall there's going to be photos. And then I'll end up proposing somewhere right here where Tyson's hiding behind that curtain. I have some GoPros so we'll get it from all the different angles and make this happen. The day before the proposal, sat down and started working on photos. And there was like 4,000 photos that I had to go through and decide which ones I wanted on the wall. Just here setting up for the proposal. After we finally hung them all up that night, I probably had like 300 photos left over that we didn't even use. Petals on the floor everywhere, it's going to be awesome, can't wait. So it's the day of the proposal, waking up, a little nervous, not sure how the day's going to go, hoping everything will work out. I already told her mom a couple days before, asked her if she could get her out of the house for a couple hours so I could be able to come and decorate her room. I texted Zeb just to make sure it was okay. Normally on Saturdays we have plans to do things, but that Saturday we didn't. So he's like, yeah that sounds really fun, go hang out with your mom for a few hours. Head over to her house, decorate her room. We drove back, it was probably around 3 o'clock. I went upstairs and I saw the dress and shoes that we picked out a few weeks before. I was really shocked. And then there was a little note that said, Julia be ready at 5 o'clock, I'm picking you up for a date that we've always talked about going on. Like he just totally surprised me. What's up dude, how's it going? And then I ran from her house up to Tyson, got the microphone from him that I had to put on. We've always talked about just going on a special date, a special time that we could just dress up as nice as we could, go to a nice dinner. So I made it seem like that's what it was. Looking as nice as I possibly can for this proposal, you know. Just here at Wiggy Wash, getting the truck, looking fresh for the proposal tonight. After this I'm heading to pick her up. I get to her house. Walked up to my front door. She looks beautiful as heck. She has no idea what we're doing. He got his phone out and started taking selfies of us. Just picked up this beautiful girl. Hi. She's looking amazing. Going to dinner tonight. She doesn't know where yet, but she's going to love it. It's going to be a great night and we're excited. And then we drove and showed up at Olive Garden. And we go in to make our reservations, you know. And they're like, it's going to be probably about 40 minutes to an hour. And I could tell that he was acting like it might mess up his plans. At that point I'm like, crap. What am I going to do? Tyson's probably going to be leaving already to set up. We are walking into the house. Zeb should be having dinner right now. And then I walked away and made a phone call to Tyson. Snuck away for a little bit. For like five minutes. I felt like it was taking forever. Just said, man, this is what it is. Should I just go somewhere else? Should I just go and make it work? It's totally up to you guys. We're fine waiting. The thing buzzes so we go to dinner. Start walking in and my microphone that I have that I had to hook up fell off. Just fell. It was dangling. So I'm trying to hold this microphone so it doesn't fall or that she doesn't see. Walking into Olive Garden. So I tell her I've got to go to the bathroom. So I was just sitting there alone. I go back and we have a great night. We started to leave. He wasn't telling me where we were going. She's just asking, where are we going? What's going on? So she said, don't worry about it. It's going to be what it is. And she kept persistently asking me these questions. So I'm like, we've got to pick something up for my mom. I thought he would just hurry, run in, grab it, and then we'd go do whatever our plans were. But he told me that their backyard was really cool and really landscaped out and a really cool overlook. So I was like, cool. OK, I'll go back and help you. We get out of the truck and we start walking back there. And I'm just thinking in my mind, I hope that this microphone connects. I was in hills and it was dirt and grass, so I was worried my heels would sink. But I started walking around the back. We go around and then you can see the window straight through where all the photos and everything are. But she is not focused on that. She's just so focused on the backyard. She's like, this backyard's not even done. The backyard was dirt piles. There was nothing set up. No landscape. So I just asked, why did you want me to come back here? OK, let's go up these steps. These are steps? Yeah. Somewhat. Oh, don't step on that one. What is this? Obviously, this is the first night I really started liking you and Reese together. A lot of them have been great. Some of them, you know, we've had some ups and downs. But through that, I've learned a lot. And we've grown as a couple, pushing through those moments and coming together. You know, choosing each other and making this relationship important to both of us and fighting for it. I'm so grateful for everything you've done for this relationship. You know, this relationship's been built on trust and honesty and just wanting what's best for each other. And I'm so grateful for everything that you've done for it and sacrificed for me. And just the better that my life is because of you. And I'm so grateful for that and I thank you for that. And I just love you so much and all the great qualities you have. You're so selfless and you have such a love to give to people and you're so down to earth. And you just make me the happiest guy in the world. And I want to continue to make more memories with you, good or bad. So, Julia, Noreen, Huff, will you marry me? You're gonna cry? I love you. Do you want to put it on? Yeah, I do. I hope it fits good. You like it? And our song's playing. I heard that one of my first songs. Did you? Yeah. You know. Did you talk to my dad? Obviously. It was three weeks ago. Really? Yes. Oh my gosh. Really good. You're so beautiful.
