Cody took me out to my favorite restaurant, "The Happy Sumo". It has the most amazing sushi ever and just has a good atmosphere. Everything is red and black and the building is pretty dim. Each table is decorated with tea candles. There are tables all over and then along the walls are booths, each with red curtains pulled back.
Usually the wait is a good 45 minutes, but we were seated immediately. We walked to the back of the restaurant to our booth and i was instantly shocked when I saw where we were sitting. There were red rose pedals leading up to the booth, all over the seats, and all over the table. Then in the middle of the table was a big, beautiful black vase with 2 dozen red roses. When we sat down, the waitress closed the curtains. I was clearly in shock.
Cody was very sweet, super affectionate and kissy. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. He told me he had written me a poem. I was pretty suprised because Cody is not really the poet type. He started reading it and tears were running down both our faces. Each time he finished a verse, he would kiss me. : ) The last line said "I'm sorry it took me so long to ask, but will you be my wife"?
Once he was done reading it, he took my hand and lead me out of the booth. He got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. He told me he loved me and couldn't imagine not spending his life with me and asked if I would marry him.
After I said yes and everything, we shared our sushi and it was wonderful! Even tho I knew he would probably ask me, I was still 100% in shock. After dinner, I thought the night was over...but I was so wrong!
He told me he wanted to go for a drive, so we drove to the other side of Provo and into a park. It was about 9:30 by this point. He pulled in and asked if I would go on a walk with him. After we walked a little ways, I could see a fire up ahead. Next to it was a blanket laid out surrounded by candles. There were 2 fancy glasses with a bottle of sparkling cider set in the snow. Next to the fire was a lil pan with chocolate in it, which we later melted over the fire to make fondue. There was also a beautiful spread of fruit, apples and bananas, etc for us to dip in the chocolate.
We sat on the blanket together and just enjoyed the end of our romantic evening. To be honest, I was still pretty much in shock. Cody couldn't stop smiling and was just so sweet.
After the fire died down, we went back to my place and called/texted everyone the great news.
It was pretty much the best night of my life! I later found out that he had called my brother to ask for his permission to marry me. It was the sweetest gesture ever. Obviously, I wish he could have called my dad, but the fact that he thought about calling my brother just shows me yet again that he really is perfect for me!
