My version:
Friday May 17, 2013 I was going up to Utah to find a dress, get my sister her dress and do a bunch of other wedding things. Weird, I know. Taft and I weren't engaged when wedding planning had started, but I knew it was coming! I had been bugging Taft all week, we need to get engaged! People are starting to talk about us getting married and I want to make the announcement already! All he would say is, "I'm working on it." Ha, fine. Have it your way then. So I am about to leave for Utah, I hadn't been able to see Taft before I left, and I was sad. I wanted to be with him. He couldn't FaceTime with me because he was having a family BBQ with another family. Of course, I was upset. But whatever. I will see him Sunday when I get home. Saturday May 18, 2013 I go wedding dress shopping and find my dream dress. It is absolutely perfect, I had the 'bridal moment' that you see on the TV show Say Yes to the Dress! I was so excited! We went to the mall and shopped, ate some food and just had nice quality family time. My mom wanted to go and check out the temple grounds where Taft and I would be getting married at. None of us had been to the Mt. Timpanogus temple before so this was exciting! Of course I was excited, but I was also very sad, my eternal companion was eight hours away and I was at our temple. The place where we will be sealed for time and all eternity. I was walking around the temple with my family, and I was pulling out my phone to text Taft to tell him how much I love and miss him, when I saw him, standing under the Angel Moroni waiting for me. I started crying, but then I got too excited to cry because it was happening! I was about to be proposed to! I run over to Taft and give him the biggest hug ever! He whispers in my ear, "I love you Morgan, and I want you for all of eternity." He got down on one knee and proposed. I couldn't have been happier, it was the perfect moment, the perfect day. We have it all on video and about 30-45 pictures of it actually happening. I was beaming.
Taft's Version:
Now, I may not do a very good job but I can assume it went like this.
Friday May 17, 2013 I woke up at 6 am to drive to SLC Utah where I will get Morgan's ring made. She doesn't know I am leaving the state, let alone leaving to get her ring and to propose to her the next day. She will be so surprised.
Saturday May 18, 2013 today is the big day! Today I will ask Morgan to be my eternal companion. The plan was to propose at 5:30pm at the East side of the temple, but I was ready to go at 3:00... (Anyone who knows Taft, knows he is a planner and he is always always always on time!) Her sister texted me and told me to go to the temple at 4:30pm. *panic sets in* I fly down the freeway, swerving in and out of traffic, I feel like I belong in Fast and Furious. I get to the temple, and I am waiting.. (We got lost...)
I can't tell you what the rest of the story was like for him, but I can imagine he felt the immense love for me, that I felt for him. All I know is this, Taft and I only have 48 more days until we are sealed for time and all eternity. I know that this is the best decision I will ever make in my entire life. I know Taft and I were meant to be married and to raise a family together, we were meant to find each other for reasons known, and reasons that will soon be revealed to us. He is my rock, and my love for him grows with each new day. People say a love like this comes once in a lifetime, I have found it. When I think of home and happiness, I think of Taft.
