The "Crashed" Proposal

Well it is official- We are going to have another wedding this summer!! Mike (My brother in law proposed!!) None of us really saw it coming because they have only dated for 3 months to the date of the proposal. They are planning to get married at the beginning of August, and luckily for Mike we all like Brittney A LOT!! The craziest part is we have only hung out with her on a few occassions, so it was a bigger shock that they were already that serious. We are WAY excited for them!!
The best part of the whole thing is I found out about the proposal about 2 days before the big event. He was planning dinner at another park, and explaining to her that he really wished he could have proposed, but didn't have the ring yet, and then take her to meet with my dad-(i still can't figure out why she was ok with meeting some other singles ward bishop- but she is a good sport!!) So the plan was that my dad wasn't ready to talk to them yet and he would take her to this park by his house. Well secretly my two other brother in laws set up roses, and candles, and ran christmas lights across a bridge and in the trees, and they would be hiding when they got there to turn it all on. Well at about 8:45 we get a call that they ran out of extension cords and needed a few more. Of course I wanted to see how it all looked so we took the whole family. MIke was planning to be there around 9:30 so we hussled up to the park. We had to help run the line, and check some of the Not working christmas lights. As we were still there the phone rang and it was Mike (pretending to talk to my dad) and he was 10 minutes away. We were so excited and figured since everyone else got to stay and hide we would to. So we drove up above the park and watched the whole thing happen from the parking lot. It was so funny as Ali got excited and would say "the lights are on, there they are, he is on his knee, They are kissing, Her leg is wrapped around his waist....." After that we decided to let them have a little privacy!! Than we saw his friend Brock and his brothers come out and congradulate them, so we decided to also. He was suprised to see us, and it was fun to congradulate them in person-- It was pretty funny and Ali said it was one of the funnest nights ever!!!
