Kevin and I had been talking about getting married. We knew that we were right for each other and we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Kevin had me thinking that the engagement would come 'soon,' then he had me thinking the engagement would come 'eventually.' I'd started to become a bit frustrated, not knowing if it was going to happen tomorrow or next year. All I knew is that he was the man I wanted to marry. One afternoon Kevin was in a particularly great mood and I didn't pick up on why he was so happy. He'd asked me if I wanted to go out to sushi for dinner. In preparation for our sushi dinner, I jumped into the shower for a quick rinse off. I got out of the shower with the towel wrapped around me and shower cap on my head and pushed open the bathroom door. There, down on one knee, Kevin was waiting for me with a ring. I was obviously shocked. I'd never imagined someone proposing to me when I was wearing a towel and a shower cap, but I didn't care what I looked like...Kev and I were getting married!!! Kev's proposal came 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day after we met.

Kelli and Kevin will be getting married on June 7, 2008

 I will tell you about Michael's proposal to me. It was Easter Sunday (April 8th 2007) and we went out to brunch at Garwoods (in Lake Tahoe) on our way back Michael wanted to go to the pier at Commons Beach and give me my Easter basket. (he always gets me a basket). I opened it and it was a cute stuffed bunny and a nice card. Then we walked down to the end of the pier and sat on the edge. To me it was just a normal day and we were just hanging out. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a silver ring box that was engraved with"Marry Me 2007 " on the top. I was stunned and thought it was a joke, he opened the box and it began to sing "going to the chapel and we're gonna get married" (He knows how much i love that song). He took the ring out of the box and put it on my finger, he said how much he loves me and want to make me his wife for the rest of our lives. When I saw the ring I was shocked and really thought it was a joke, because it was enormous. I, of course said yes and we both teared up and kissed. We sat at the pier for a while and we were both so nervous of the ring flying into the lake. Later that day we went to his Aunt Jennifer's house. On the way there we saw his mom, aunt, and cousin taking a walk, Michael got on his cb radio (that is really loud outside of the truck) and yelled somebody is getting married. The girls started jumping up and down with excitement. We spent that day with his family and they shared in our excitement!!!!
