David wanted his proposal to be the perfect surprise for Emily, so for Emily’s 30th Birthday weekend, David bought her a coffee maker. You have to understand - Emily LOVES COFFEE. The idea was to get Emily something so extravagant that she wouldn’t suspect that he had other surprises in store for her birthday weekend in Arrowhead. David’s plan worked like a charm! Emily was over the moon about her fancy new coffee maker. She thought, nothing could top a present this good. Jacked up on coffee and the excitement of a weekend in the fresh mountain air, Emily and David departed for Arrowhead. Having never been to Arrowhead before, David nervously carried around the ring in his pocket the whole trip waiting for the right moment. 30 mph winds all but ruled out the first day. David held his breath all day hoping the ring wouldn’t accidentally slip from his pocket. But he held out hope that Lake Gregory (the lake next door) would hold promise. After a lovely picnic along the shore David suggested they take a picture, so he set up his tripod with the lake in the background and when Emily turned around David was on one knee holding a small treasure in his hand, asking if Emily would like to spend forever with him... Emily screamed and said "I do!" Then proceeded to jump on top of a nearby bench and fist pump like Tiger Woods after winning the US Open. She even got a spirited standing ovation from the nearby families and fishermen. What did you expect? Emily has always been a crowd pleaser. And with that they lived happily ever after!
