Hayden had planned a day of my favorite things - although I was told we were going to celebrate his best friend's graduation from college! We went to Dave and Buster's to duke it out on all the arcade games then headed to downtown Greenville for a nice dinner at Smoke on the Water. Following dinner, we all walked down to the Reedy River to take pictures and hang out - it was a gorgeous summer day! Josh's wife, Natalie, wanted to take some pictures of us with her new camera. Little did I know, Hayden had a ring hidden in his boot. While taking pictures, Hayden got behind me and got on one knee. It was a total surprise! I had no idea that he had a ring, no idea it was happening on that day, and no clue that was the whole reason that Josh and Natalie had tagged along. Oh - and in case anyone was wondering just how much of a Daddy's girl I am - I didn't even say yes until I asked Hayden if he had asked my dad for my hand. The proposal was perfect and I will always be convinced that surprise proposals are the BEST kind!
