Jared proposed to me on the 23rd of August at sunset. We went to “our spot” at the end of KGB. We looked out at the Cook Inlet, watching the city skyline brighten. We sat there and talked for hours. Jared noticed something in the distance, it was beluga whales. As we watched them go by, all I could think in that moment, was “wow, God is so great and I thought about Jared’s homeland and heritage.” After that, he went over to his truck to grab some more firewood, so I thought. He had secretly set up a camera and said, “Jaedyn, come here, I think I have a flat tire!” I ran over there and by the time I turned the corner, he was on one knee. I was so surprised and excited to spend the rest of my life with someone who truly loves me and sees me for me.
