Melinda + David
July 11, 2009
Heber Utah
BEFORE THE WEDDING
Occupations: Melinda is a full time student at Southern Utah University. David is a lead custom cabinetry installer.
How the couple met: We met the first day of class in the 5th grade. He would make fun of me because I would use a lot of colors for my water coloring.
How he proposed: We have a lake that sits in front of our house, there is somewhat of a secret spot that you can launch your boat from. We have been down there many times. He told me earlier that day that he went to go and talk to my Dad about something important. He told me ‘There are some things that I want to talk to your Dad about, kind of make our relationship better’. So I thought that it was going to turn out to be a terrible conversation, just because I know my Dad. He called me later on that day and said that he needed to talk to me about something. I thought this was also going to be a bad conversation. So we went down to the spot down at the lake, it was about sunset. I got out of the car and walked around to the front to talk to him. We met me half way, and without any hesitation he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I went hysterical, I started crying and I couldn’t really breath, so finally after 2 min of freaking out I said yes. And he wasn’t tough about it either; I saw some tears come from his eyes too.
Bridal shower/Bachelorette party: I had 2 bridal showers. One was at my parent’s house and it was hosted by one of my bridesmaids. The second one was at my aunt’s house and my two aunts and my grandmother hosted it. My bachelorette party was in Park City, UT and it was hosted by one of my bridesmaids. She had the company called Slumber Parties come and entertain us for the evening.
Bachelor party: David’s Bachelor party was hosted by one of his groomsmen. His buddies and him took the ‘Fun Bus’ to Wendover for the night. They left Salt Lake City at 7:30 p.m. and came back to Salt Lake City at 6:00 am the next morning. I tell you what, it made an interesting story when I had to go and pick them up that morning.
