Down on Bended Knee

I have recently become an engaged woman. My dear love Scott proposed to me on May 29th! I asked the parents how they became engaged:

Describe your marriage proposal! Was your significant other surprised? 

Dad:My proposal to Roseanne took some time to for me to figure out.  I had know for a while that I wanted to marry her.  I had gone to the temple and prayed about it there.  I had also prayed every night to receive a confirmation to ask her for her hand in marriage.  The Lord revealed to me that she was the right one, but the question was when and where to ask her.

We would spend time together; go to movies and dances; but no time felt right until we were watching General Conference at her house.  It was after the afternoon session that I asked if she would be the mother of our children and she said yes.  Yes, I was really surprised and have loved her ever since.

Mom: The day Brian proposed, we were at his apartment. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints October conference was coming up that weekend.  I remember watching Brian that evening noticing that he was a little more distracted or nervous about something.  We talked about different subjects that evening.  Then it happened!  He asked me if I wanted to be the mother of his children.  I said, "Yes!" (I knew that meant he wanted me to marry him.)  He gave me his sterling silver ring to put on my finger.  He hadn't picked out a ring yet and he wanted us to pick the rings out together. I knew at that time I wanted to spend eternity with him!  He is such a creative, smart, jovial, romantic guy.( I also knew that he would make a great dad for our future children.)  We were married later that same year in the Salt Lake Temple, December 18, 1976.
