Proposal

Nathan and I had decided to take an end of the summer trip to Las Vegas. We were so looking forward to a nice fun vacation. Nathan made reservations at the Stratosphere so that way we could eat dinner at their gourmet restaurant called On Top of the World. It is a restaurant that is over looking Las Vegas and it rotates a full 360 degrees as you as sitting there eating dinner! It was absolutely stunning. We had the best time and laughed all night long. Then, we decided to go to the higher level where they have scary rides that you can go on. As we were looking over the city watching the beautiful lights twinkle below us, Nathaneil got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together! I was so excited of course I said yes! That was the highlight of our trip, and we had the best time. We can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together!

How They Met

We met through some mutual friends one night at Nathan’s fraternity. We hit it off and were friends for awhile. One night we both just happened to go to the same rock concert and we ended up hanging out with each other for the rest of the night. We had a blast together, and Nathan even lifted me up to go crowd surfing that night! Shortly after, Nathan asked me out on a formal date. He made the date very romantic and sweet, and looking back now it was very cute because we were both so nervous! The rest is history, and we have been in love ever since!
