The Proposal

This post is for you Tayla and Cari!

Kinsey and Lane's proposal story:

Lane came to Terrence and asked permission to marry Kinsey Easter weekend.  It was great.  I wasn't there but Terrence told me Lane was confident and excited and promised to be good to Kinsey.

After they set a few ground rules, I was invited in and we told Lane how happy and excited we were that he was going to become part of our family.   We love how happy Kinsey is when she is with him.

Kinsey's finger is size 3 (baby fingers) so they had to have the ring they chose completely made from scratch because if it was sized it would ruin the ring.  It took forever.

Kinsey didn't know Lane had the ring when we went to Fishlake.  He was planning on proposing after our four wheeling day (where the four wheeler was wrecked).  He was going to take Kinsey on a four wheeler ride overlooking the valley and propose to her there.  After the wreck Kinsey wasn't too thrilled when he tried to get her to go again later that evening.  Not to mention, it was freezing.  So she just kept saying, "No thanks".  Terrence and I were dying.

The next day we all went to church at the Lodge. There's a restaurant outside the area they use for the chapel.  Lane talked to the restaurant workers and had them set up a table with candles that would be out of the way, gave him his camera, and told them what was going on.

After church Kinsey went to use the restroom and we left them there.  Lane walked her over to the table they had set up, bent down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She, of course, said "Yes".

Everyone in the restaurant was watching and clapping.  They even came over to congratulate them!

The following are pictures from one of the restaurant workers.  They were supposed to take pictures during- but I guess they got too excited watching and forgot!  There are also pictures they took themselves from the hood of their car when they went driving afterwards.

We're so happy for them.

Congrats Kinsey and Lane!
