Proposal

Shane was on his way to Gillette, WY to meet Courtney for a wedding that they were going to attend in Laramie. The date was May 23rd, 2013, which is an important date in the Smith family because it is Courtney’s parent’s wedding anniversary. When Shane got to Courtney’s house he told her to wait upstairs. When he got upstairs he had a new pink fishing pole for Courtney! Somehow the fishing pole string had gotten caught on the stairs, so he told her to keep reeling it in. At the end of the line was a smiley face balloon that said “Marry Me” and a gorgeous diamond ring. Courtney being slightly blind did not see either the ring or the Marry Me letters. She didn’t get what was going on until Shane got down on one knee and asked Courtney to marry him, she said yes right away.
