With the holidays coming around and knowing we would be around most of her direct family I secretly planned with Allie's family to propose to her with a ring that we had picked out together. We had been looking at rings for a while, and I one day went and bought it without telling her and waited for the date her family and I had set together to do the proposal. With the date coming around she kept giving hints and expressing her wishes for the ring. I even told her the day I planned on doing it that I wasn't able to get the ring anytime soon. Since we planned this surprise on the day we did thanksgiving as a family after we had finished celebrating thanksgiving with the food we went out side to take "family" pictures where it came to take couple pictures with her thinking it was just normal pictures, I got down on one knee as they took the pictures to captivate the moment we would spend the rest of outlives together!!
