Congratulations Chantell & Jarem!!!

Friday night was so fun and exciting! Nate's sister, Chantell, was going to get proposed to by her boyfriend Jarem. Jarem called me up on Thursday and asked me to help out with it. He first took her on a helicopter ride from Provo up to Heber, where they went to a nice dinner. Then they rode the helicopter back to Provo. The saddest part, but kind of funny, is that she threw up the entire fancy dinner in the helicopter on the way back. She can laugh about it, which is great I think!
So, while they were going on their helicopter ride Jarem's sister Stephanie and I were setting up a very romantic setting in the basement of the Milne's house. We had chocolate-covered strawberries, tons of tea lights and candles, lights in the trees, the fireplace aglow, music, and of course sparkling cider. It was such a blast putting it all together knowing what would be happening there that night.
So, Jarem dropped Chantell off (and drove around the corner, ran through the back yard, and went into the basement to wait for her), Chantell came in and told us all about the helicopter ride. We all sat there and watched Enchanted for a few minutes, then Nate's dad asked Chantell if she would go turn the fireplace off downstairs. Of course Jarem was down there in the "love room" and then he proposed!!! We were really tempted to turn on the speaker system down there so we could hear what was said, but Nate talked me out of it!
Congratulations Chantell & Jarem, we're so excited for you to be married!!! You guys are great together, we love you!

Congratulations!!! What a cute story and what a fun way to propose. Too bad she got sick.

Suggestion: You could write down the story with both of thier sides of the propsal - the cute pictures you took and start a scrapbook as the perfect wedding gift.

Ahh- to be young and dating again - that sounds like a lot of fun on both sides - how old is that she? I can't remeber all of his sisters and their ages anymore.
