On March 12th 2011 Nick tricked me into an overnight beach stay on Anna Maria Island. We started off the day hanging out on the beach with our KU alum friends, Eric, Lindsey, and Courtney. Then we went parasailing, which was amazing and nerve wrecking all at the same time. From about 500 feet about the water we could see downtown St. Petersburg and Sarasota. After parasailing we headed back to our cottage and got ready for what I thought was to meet up with our friends to watch the Big XII championship; however, that is not what we did. Instead Nick led me down to the beach where he has secretly set up a sunset beach dinner (with some help). I was obviously to the entire set up. I saw a couple of photographers and totally thought there was a wedding going on. Little did I know that Nick was down on one knee and the photographers were there to capture the entire tearful proposal. It was such a special night and I can't wait for our April 28, 2012 wedding!
Right as he was proposing- wish I would have know so I would have dressed a bit cuter
Really glad I could be support the Jayhawks at my proposal (only a slight hint of sarcasm)
This is probably my favorite picture from the night.
The photographer was getting fancy with my ring and the coral.
