Popping the question...
Chris proposed after an amazing night full of surprises!
We had planned a fun date night by going to a Stampede Basketball game on this nothing special, random, Monday night (December 28, 2009).
Chris came to pick Charity up at her house before grabbing a quick bite to eat and heading to the basketball game. Little did she know what surprises were in store...
Chris found a parking spot after suggesting they grab a quick appetizer at their favorite Indian Restaurant, Taj Mahal in Downtown Boise. When they walked in, there was a table waiting for them with a bottle of wine and their food was already being prepared! Charity was very surprised since she knows that Chris doesn't really plan anything and continued on with the evening, enjoying her favorite Indian dish and laughing with her best friend.
They headed off to the basketball game (since they love to watch sporting events together), got our tickets from will call and headed into the arena. Chris handed an usher our tickets and asked if he could find our seats and we were led onto the floor and sat in amazing seats (you could smell the players...seriously)...
We were heading back to Chris' place when he pulled over to use the restroom...he saw the Melting Pot restaurant and said he could use the restroom and we could maybe grab some dessert! Charity, still oblivious that anything suspicious was going on gladly agreed since fondue is one of her favorites!
It was a little after 9pm and the restaurant was closing...they said they could squeeze us in as long as it was just something quick like dessert. They brought us to this great private Bell Tower room and we had some amazing chocolate fondue with strawberries, cheese cake, pound cake, marshmallows, bananas, etc etc etc!!
As Chris left to go to the restroom, Charity was happily eating chocolate and enjoying this fun night. She took this picture (still oblivious that this whole night had been planned out)...
That lingers in the morning, like a melody
Over and over, all through the day,
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout how I'm feeling this way
She moves like sea breeze, swirling around me
The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper, she's calling me to her,
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream
We found each other, staring at the waves
We started talking and I couldn't break away
I made plans to meet tonight down by the pier
And when midnight strikes I'm gonna hold that dream near
She moves like sea breeze, swirling around me
The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper, she's calling me to her
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream
To my surprise,
She took my heart with one look in her eye
To a place that feels like home
She moves like sea breeze, swirling around me
The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper, she's calling me to her
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream.
As Chris finished, he asked Charity to stand up, he took her hand and knelt on his knee...
