"Will You Marry Me?"

by John Barry

I think I've waited long enough,
Let enough time go by,
To know just what I need in my life.

When I look at you right now,
My heart is telling me why,
You're the only one for me.
And tonight, if you let me ask you this,
With Heaven as my witness:

Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be
Here on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking please,
Will you marry me?

On March 31, 2006, Mike took me to Temple Square and while I was taking pictures of the beautiful flowers, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Actually, let's rewind. He took me to Temple Square and while I was taking pictures of the beautiful flowers, he told me he had something for me and asked if I wanted it. I said yes, of course. He pulled out a gift, wrapped in Winnie the Pooh, Christmas wrapping paper. And handed it to me. He then explained that he'd told Spencer (his 5 year old son) he had a present for me and showed it to him. Spencer wanted it to be from both of them and told Mike they needed to wrap it. (Thus the Winnie the Pooh, Christmas wrapping paper). I opened the present to reveal a small velvet jewelry box. I opened the box and the gorgeous sparkling ring was inside. Mike just stood there. Finally I said, "Well, are you gonna ask me something?" He began but I stopped him and said, "Well, you need to get down on your knee!" (I guess this is the problem with letting little girls dream of their proposal...then they get demanding when it actually happens!) At last, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
