Many of you want to know the story of how Scooter
and I got engaged. I will first have to
talk about how we met.
How we met
Back in June the Jesters Royale participated in
Battle of the Improvs. It was a
terrifying situation for sure! Push MyButton, who was one of the teams that participated, was awesome, and we decided
that we should be pals. We would go to
each other’s shows and support each other.
We decided to do a bowling hang out in August, where only me and two
others on the Jesters team showed up, and almost all of PMB came. I talked to everyone that night besides Mr.
Scooter. At the end of the night,
everyone was hugging everyone, and then I saw Scooter and we decided to hug
because everyone else was hugging. It
was the most awkward hug ever! After that I decided to add him on Facebook.
Peace Summit
On Facebook we would chat a little about what was
going on with our improv teams. One day
I decided to “poke” him. It started an ongoing
battle where we would go back and forth poking each other. I then popped up on Facebook chat and told
him that I wasn't going to give up, and I knew that he wasn’t going to give
up. He then proposed a peace
summit. I asked him what the peace
summit entailed, and he told me a movie.
I thought, we’d be hanging out at someone’s house. So I asked him where, and he said that it
would be at the closest theater to my house.
He then said that we should probably add a food establishment to
it. Not even thinking it was a date, I
agreed to this. Boy, I can be naive for
sure!
(We like acting like Delinquents-@WJ Park)
Dating
We became officially boyfriend/girlfriend on September
17. Dating was fun, and we got close for
sure. Wanting to spend more time with me
he joined the Jesters, along with still being on his other team. We talked about marriage. We then decided to go look at rings. I picked my favorite ring from each place,
but in the end he got to decide which ring I ended up with.
Proposal
On November 16, I was just having an awful
time. I was planning to run the sound
for the Jester’s show that night, but someone dropped out of the line-up so I
stepped in. On the way to the theater I
was just complaining away to Scooter, not knowing anything was up. (Apparently before the show he pulled the MC
away and told him of his intentions.
They ended up changing the last game in the show to accommodate for
this.) During the first half I noticed a
huge bulge in his back pocket and I commented on that at half time. At that moment he excused himself to the
bathroom. (Suspicious!.. Lol) The very
last game of the show we were playing Double Blind Freeze Tag. For those of you that don’t know what this
is, two people do a scene, while the other actors have their back to the scene,
the MC then freezes the game, and then the next person in line taps out an
actor, assumes the position that they were in, and then begins a new
scene. I was out doing a scene, and then
an actor comes out and then he gets in a completely different position than
what the previous actor was in. (Apparently, right before he went to get in the
scene, Scooter told him to get in that position) He is down on his knees, with
his hands making a bird beak by his face.
He did the whole scene this way. The MC finally froze the scene and
Scooter tapped him out. Scooter is then
talking, and that is when my mind finally connected the dots. I then started to tear up, fanning my face
with my hands. In my mind I was
thinking, “This isn’t improv anymore.” He then pulled the ring out of his
sleeve and proposed. Of course I said
yes!
Well, there is the story. We will be getting married on May 17, 2013 in
the Salt Lake Temple.
