Rebecca's Perspective: My college graduation was approaching and I knew that I would have about a week to see some of my friends between finals and leaving for a three month internship in Utah. I messaged my friend Allison and asked if she wanted to have a girls day, she agreed! Jacob has told me he was going to work that morning which made it all seem to fall into place. As the morning approached we solidified plans to get brunch and just spend the morning together. That morning of she picked me up and got me a cup of coffee on the way downtown. She commented that she was doing a graduation photo shoot down by the river and wanted to go check out some good spots for photos. I agreed and went along for the walk. It was then that we ran into my friend Peter, who I assumed was just at the park and we randomly ran into each other. I gave him a hug and asked him what he was doing, to which he responded "oh just lighting candles in riverfront park." At this remark I look over to Allison and she had a smirk on her face. She then pulls out her camera and it all begins to click, what sneaky friends I have. I walk down a candle lit path and see Parker, who I hug and hand all my belongings off to and continue walking to Jacob. He has rose petals covering the grass and is waiting for me. I was already shaking at this point because I was caught by TOTAL surprise and was just so excited and overwhelmed. I made it to Jacob who, said some sweet sentiments then got on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I said yes and then began to repeatedly say, "this isn't happening, this is a dream?!?!" He puts the ring on my finger and it started to become real. Allison snapped some sweet photos of us and we all went off to enjoy the breakfast I had been planning on!
