So you may have heard from facebook,
or through the grapevine,
but let it be known:
Britton Burke Staheli
and myself
are officially ENGAGED!!!
Us before our "Epic B.A. Date"
*B.A. stands for Britt and Abbie, cute huh?!
About a month ago we looked at rings and
decided on a setting we both really liked.
But there was some difficulty in setting the diamond,
and I had NO idea when it was coming.
Britt had me convinced that the ring was
still in San Diego being set this weekend.
But he wanted to still go through with his plans
as "just an epic date."
So he and my family were being really secretive,
and I decided not to worry, and enjoy,
all the while sure I wouldn't get
a sparkly ring this weekend.
Much to my surprise and delight,
I was wrong.
He tricked me,
and it was lovely.
Here are some of the photos Ally took while he was proposing:
The B.A. Epic Date/Proposal:
(how it all went down)
1. Sushi at Osaka's
2. A little wasting time while the troops were assembling things
*TJ Max, Ross, Temple Visitor's Center (not really wasting time)
3. He blind folded me and took me to the Dixie High School Auditorium
(He chose this place because it was where he first saw me, CUTE huh?!)
4. We watched a video slide show he made for me with pictures of us, our favorite love songs and a poem he wrote for me
5. He sat me on a bench on stage and sang to me
*He sang "I Love You 'Til the End by the Pogues" accompanied by Colton S. Campbell
6. He got down on one knee, proposed with a plastic ring,
and then pulled out the REAL thing! YAY!!
7. We slow danced while we were serenaded by C. Simmons Campbell.
It was SO wonderful and happy and perfect!!
It was the BEST ever, and I totally cried.
It was everything I wanted and more!!
Now I'm allowed to say cheesy things on my blog, such as:
I love Britt Staheli!!
B.S. + A.C. = eternal AWESOMENESS
Britt and Abbie foreva!
The Bling:
Hope you enjoyed. I sure did. :)

When I saw it on the video, I thought B.A. Love meant something else ENTIRELY. I thought it stood for Bad Ass Love.
But Britt and Abbie Love works too. hahahaha.
Abbie Cope! You know as much as I always hoped you would marry Jordan in your purple dress (actually I don't know that I ever thought much about it but I've just heard that story so many times) I am SOOOOO excited for you and Britt! It seems like just yesterday we were at Lake Powell talking about the possibility of you being engaged and planning your wedding.. and now that day has come!!! I love your ring, I've never seen anything like it! So excited for your wedding.. it will be the wedding of the century ;)
