I met Nate during a girls’ trip to Las Vegas during the beginning of the summer. We were at a pool party when a mutual friend introduced us. We politely said hi and went on to continue to enjoy ourselves. We spent our time hanging out with our friends going to from one event to the next. The next time I spoke with Nate was at the end of summer when Nate texted me about a musical festival in downtown Las Vegas. I saw the line up of artist and convinced my cousin the join me in another trip to Vegas. We spent the weekend at Life is Beautiful getting know each other and listening to great music.

Nate invited me out for a special night starting with dinner at Joe's Steak and Crab. I had a feeling that he was going to propose that night and anticipated him asking me at dinner. After dinner Nate surprised me with a private night time helicopter ride of Las Vegas. We were flying over downtown viewing the lights off the buildings when he pulls out an engagement ring. The mics on the headsets were turned off, so it took me a minute to notice the ring. When I did notice tears began running down my face. I said yes.
