Downtown Redlands was the place. Allyssa was being bothered by another guy who continued to ask for her phone number. Allyssa being annoyed, said her number really fast in a sarcastic way in hopes to be left alone. Stephen was in the back of the crowd and yelled, "I got it" in reference to Allyssa's phone number. Per Stephen, Allyssa turned and looked at him and said "the cute guy got it" but to this day Allyssa will not admit she said that. The next day, Allyssa received a text from Stephen, but Allyssa refused to text him back for over a week when a great friend insisted Allyssa gives him a chance. Here we are three years later, waiting for our wedding day.
Las Vegas was the place! We were going to see George Straight in concert and we were running late to leave the hotel room. Allyssa being Allyssa, was yelling at Stephen to hurry up. While Allyssa started walking out the door, Stephen stated to hold on, that he needed to grab something. Allyssa, extra annoyed at this point stood at the door (calling him every name in the book) waiting for him to leave. Stephen walked towards the door and started telling Allyssa how much she means to him. Allyssa, still holding the hotel room door open, looks over and sees Stephen drop down to one knee while holding a ring box. Allyssa then yells at him saying, "you are really doing this here". He proceeded to propose and Allyssa said yes! We then went to the concert and had an amazing night. We are excited to celebrate with you all!
