Lindsay and Bryan bowling on Thanksgiving with Lindsay's family
We met our Jr. year of high school and were friends for many years before we started dating. We did attend one fireside together in High School, which apparently wasn’t very memorable because Bryan has only a dim recollection of it. After Bryan left on his church mission, Lindsay got his address from his dad and we built on our friendship via letters. A few months after Bryan returned, we had our official first date. We lived in different states at the time, but eventually Lindsay made her way back to Utah. Four months after she returned to Utah we were engaged. Bryan, being the gentleman that he is, wanted to ask Lindsay’s dad’s permission to marry her. To improve his odds, he waited until her dad was distracted by watching his favorite football team, the Denver Broncos. He also made sure that the Broncos were winning when he asked for Lindsay’s hand. Her dad said yes, and then came the really hard part, asking Lindsay. It was New Year’s Eve. We went out to dinner and then went to a single adult dance. Bryan took Lindsay out in the foyer, got down on one knee and read her a poem he had written asking her to marry him. We then went to Bryan’s sister’s house and shared the news with his family. We also called Lindsay’s family to let them know we were starting the New Year as an engaged couple. We have shared many wonderful years together and look forward to sharing many more.
