We initially met through mutual friends. Good friends of Vic's and good friends of mine often got together to play cards - but we never managed to be there on the same night. When we finally did get around to meeting each other we were on our first date about two weeks later. Not very long after our first date ... we were engaged.

We went for a walk after an ice cream date around the Provo City Center Temple grounds. We strolled through a small garden and decided we were going to come up with a secret handshake. We were high fiving and fist bumping while other couples carried on around us, cuddled up to each other, exchanging hushed giggles and gazing into each others eyes. When we finally choreographed the perfect secret handshake we sat down on the park bench pretty content with ourselves - feeling super cool obviously. After a few good laughs Victor looked towards the temple building thoughtfully. Still looking towards the temple, he took my hand and very matter of factly said, "I'd like to marry you here ... " We'd only been dating a week. My immediate response was, "wait .... you mean hypothetically or like eventually?" Without hesitation he looked at me and replied, "As soon as possible. I would marry you tomorrow."
