Short filmTranscript
00:00I was only 18 when we started to date, and I was writing to two missionaries, and he
00:06was exactly the kind of man that I would have thought was the kind of man I wanted to marry.
00:12And I don't think I would have called him, but his roommate called me and said Stephen
00:16was really depressed, so I called him and he asked me out, and I just felt pressure.
00:21But then, it had been nine months, he was gone for the summer, and so I, my heart was
00:28being softened.
00:31And so when he comes back, I know something's up.
00:36While I tried to plan out the proposal, so I invited her to go with me to general conference
00:44in October.
00:46He invited me to conference, but we went late, so I knew we wouldn't get in.
00:50But he had a blanket, and we're dressed up.
00:52So we went up to a park just north of the Utah State Capitol.
00:58So we listened to it on the radio in Veterans Memorial Park.
01:02Then afterwards, he sits up, and I thought, here it comes.
01:07I said, I want to talk with you for a little bit longer, and she said, okay, what's up?
01:12And I said, come my love and be with me, the best in life is yet to be.
01:20And then I proposed to her, and I think she was not quite expecting it, and it was a little
01:24bit of a surprise.
01:27So she had to think about it.
01:29So we had a nice little speech proposing to him, and I said, I'll tell you tomorrow, but
01:36I think it's yes.
01:38There was no call in the morning.
01:40There was no call in the afternoon.
01:42That's because I had to go home and write letters to my missionaries and tell somebody
01:47I had a date the next day.
01:49So he was starting to really wonder, because I went over to his church, it was like in
01:54the evening.
01:55I went to church that evening, and she showed up for church.
02:02I didn't know that she would.
02:03And then after church, why, she...
02:07I told him yes.
