it's happening!

It was a clear, sunny morning on the 3rd of June 2017, in the quaint town of Sonora, California. The lovely couple set out to conquer the name sake falls of beautiful Yosemite National Park. Armed with a pack full of water and snacks, the journey began bright and early - spirits high and muscles fresh. This however, would change rather quickly. Heart rates climbed. Sweat poured. Willpower wained. With every switchback, Tiffany's energy levels dipped lower and lower. But persevere she did and upon reaching the top, she decided that no photos need be taken and no snacks need be eaten. So she lay down for a nap. What she did not know was that tucked away amongst the bags of jerky, cheese, and crackers was a ring pop and a tiny blue box with a ring. See, Jonathan had grand plans to get down on one knee and ask Tiffany to marry him, with the beauty of the valley as the backdrop. Tiffany, now sound asleep, had other plans. Jonathan grew ever more nervous waiting for sleeping beauty to arise from her slumber. Jonathan ultimately accepted that this proposal would not be done on bended knee, and so he lay down beside Tiffany. In an attempt to entice Tiffany to liven her spirits, Jonathan offered the ring pop. Lo and behold it worked. In her exhausted stupor, Tiffany put the ring pop on her index finger. Jonathan, now palm to face, tells her to put it on the correct finger. This elicits no response from Tiffany other than, "You're stupid..." Jonathan now pulls out the tiny blue box and shows her the real ring, the one that hopefully fits her elevation-fattened fingers. A push and a twist later and it is on. Tears roll. She says yes. Exhaustion fades and the hike back down might as well have been a prance through a lily field. The proposal was not remotely close to what each had envisioned, but it was perfect.
