So, I moved to Utah, I'm thinking its been about 9 years ago. One of the first girls that I got to be friends with was my friend Aimee. I think we've lived together at least half of those years. So what are the chances of two really good friends getting proposed to at the same place, same way?
My Proposal: We had gone ring shopping together the past few weeks, so I was expecting a proposal at some point. Ryan texted me at work and said not to eat he wanted to take me out somewhere nice to dinner. So, of course I knew what he was up to. He took me to the restaruaunt the Roof in slc which has a really cool view of the temple and really good food. Afterwards he took me to Liberty park. (We had gone there together on a date in the first couple months of dating- where we actually broke into the bird sanctuary next to the park thinking it was a playground and he told I think it was my family when he was on the what they call the "hot seat" a little later that was when he started thinking I could be the one) As we were walking along the path way in the park there was a blanket with roses, sparkling cider, and candles lit up and he popped the question.
Aimee's proposal 2 1/2 years later: They have been ring shopping for a while so she also was expecting a proposal some time. It started out as a regular night. They ate dinner together and then planned to meet up later to go to the gym. But he called her later and said is it ok if they went some where to talk. He told her he wanted to go to the slc temple but really took her to, you guessed it Liberty Park, where he had a blanket, candles and roses set up and asked the question. I think she said the reason he proposed there because that is where his grand parents got engaged there or something like that.
Other similarities- They were both mid-week proposals, tues for aimee, wed for me.
Both our rings were too big and we had to get them sized after the proposal, (its hard to part with your ring when you've waited so long for it) and both happened about the same time of night.
Anyways I just thought it was crazy that two good friends got proposed to at the same place with the same blanket, rose, candle plan. I mean 5 years ago when we were hanging out complaining about guys and not being able to imagine marrying anyone, would you think it was possible that both of our future husbands would propose to us at the same park in the same way? Really what are the chances?

that is funny! so did she just get engaged?
That is so awesome! i am so happy for her. That is really funny about you guys.
I wish Jonny would've gotten the "propose in liberty park with romantic candles and a blanket" memo...instead he proposed in a parking lot.
That is a crazy coincidence:) She is such a nice girl:) That's great to have such a good friend:)
I still remember the night that Ryan purposed to you! I helped you pick out your outfit, and you wore my pink skirt and hot pink heels!!!! :)
It is so cool that you and Aims have that to share. :) I think 5 years ago would have been when we all lived at Carriage Cove & yes I too remember the complaining about never thinking I would find a guy!!!
woah,that is pretty cool
