Meg's Engaged!

This weekend was nothing short of wonderful. One of my dear dear friends got engaged! Now if I am being honest she genuinely is one of the coolest girls I know.

So here is the story: Megan, Stephen (her fiance now), and a few others went to Grand Lake Saturday morning to spend the day at Stephen's grandparent's lake house. All together there were eight of them. They went tubing and basked in the sun all afternoon I am sure. That evening they got all dolled up and made a delicious meal of chicken, wedge salad, kabobs, and I can not remember what else. Here comes the good stuff. The plan was for Stephen to take her on a walk and that was when and where he was going to pop the BIG question. So after dinner and a little persistence from Stephen, Megan gave in and went on a walk with him. He told her he had something to give her and held up a red journal. Now, Stephen is a romantic in the first place so this was not very suspicious. In the journal were letters that he had written since the first time he told her he loved her in February. As they were talking by the lakeside he started reading those letters and well I bet you can guess the rest.

Our part: Stephen wanted to throw her a little surprise party once she got back at the house with all of their friends. Geeze he is good! Grand Lake is actually about three hours away from Norman and we were suppose to get there at 8:30. So we hopped in the car and headed out on a little road trip! WAHOO. Really though, they are one of my favorite things to do. Along the way, we had to stop and get the ultimate road trip food, McDonald's. Since we were suppose to get there when it was dark, it would not be right if we did not get lost. But do not worry we caught it early. Once we were there and got the cue to enter the house the team began to work. The boys hung streamers, while the girls laid out the snacks. I will just let the rest of the pictures explain the rest of the evening, since pictures are much better than words.

The whole surprise gang.Waiting for them to arrive.So excited!

Right when she walked in the front door. She had no idea we were there yet. This is my favorite!SURPRISE!Telling her mom! Her brother and dad did not want to tell her mom the day she was getting engaged because they did not think she could keep a secret (haha!).Our ring pops do not compare to her bling.Telling the story.

We then went back to Kasey's lake house and had a sleepover. Saturday night was perfect. I am not even a cry-er and I wanted to so badly because it was so darn touching. Megan and Stephen are so cute and I can not wait for them to bein their next stage in life together.


And so on,
Elizabeth
