6. How did he propose?
Jessica: It was my birthday,and so he said we would be going out for dinner that night. He took me to the Riverwalk grill in Sunriver where we had a fancy dinner. Stephen told me his friends mom works there and takes pictures,so the whole night she was taking pictures of us and I didnt know why. Turns out at the end of our meal the waiter brought out dessert,and on that dessert plate was a Tiffany’s box. I opened the box and there was a ring,instantly started crying. Stephen than stood up in front of the whole restaurant and began to say how much he loved me and cared about me. Than he grabbed my hand and got on one knee and proposed. I thought that was the best part of the night..but little did we both know David Archuletta was there eating with his manager and grandpa. The restaurant was closed by this time and so we were the only ones left in there. David’s manager came over to us and asked if we had a song. We said,“No.” She asked if it would be ok if David sang a song to us. So as its just us in the restaurant. David came over and shook our hands and said congratulations and chose a song to sing to just us. He sang the most perfect,cute song,it was amazing! Later that night we found out David had tweeted about singing to us and said congrats to us again on twitter. So Stephen being sneaky,planned having all these pictures taken,so now we have the whole night to look back on in all our pictures. It was by far the best night of my life!!
Stephen: It was her birthday I decided to take her to dinner,little did she know it was a surprise I had the whole evening planned. We had an elegant dinner and as they brought out dessert they brought her,her ring. She was shocked and I got nervous because I knew I had to stand up in front of everyone. Finally,got the nerve to bend down on one knee and asked her to marry me. Shortly after when the restaurant closed David Archuletta wanted to sing a song to us that was “our” song. We told him we didn’t have one,he thought of a song to sing that is very special to us now,and is officially our song now.
