why wait when you know its right?

He got home the night of Tuesday, March 17th. Wednesday while we were in the car on the way home from shopping my brother in law Riley texted us on my phone asking us if Hunter would want to go do summer sales with them and told us all the benefits of it. We nodded at each other and said we would talk about it later. Well Hunter is the type of person that when i makes up his mind or wants something then he will get it done. He took my phone out of my hand and relpied, “ yes i’m coming.” then looks at me and says “you’ll come with me right?” I guess you could say thats when everything changed real quick and got real, real. Thursday the 19th we sat outside on his back lawn and talked about what we wanted our future to be like. It was a hard decision, we prayed together, we talked about pros and cons of going out, if we should go out together engaged, not engaged, or married (which sounded absolutely crazy) because i told him i’m not leaving him again. Thursday night hunter turned to me and said, “ lets just get married before. April 17th, then we can go out together and be married without any worries or leaving each other again. “ But wait, WHAT?! You literally just came home from serving a mission in Africa for two years. But, it felt like nothing but right. Nothing i would have guessed or expected in a million years, but this was God’s plan- not ours. And it was perfect. That night we went and told my parents our plan, they were all in!! Then his parents. Lets do this. We have a little less than a month to plan the wedding of the year. Our siblings were SO excited and SO supportive of us! Thats another reason it felt so right. 





We woke up Friday morning, 7AM and starting planning out of our pants. Seriously got so much done that day. Everything was falling into place and we were being so so blessed. I mean who books and amazing photographer, the temple and much more with 3 weeks notice?! We got all of the groomsmen outfits that day, ring shopping, ties, and much much more…its kinda a blur now. Oh and i quit my two jobs that day. My life literally just took a 720 degree turn. More change then i had ever thought i would go through all at once. All i thought and dreamt about was our wedding for the next 4 weeks. How were we going to pull this off?? Because we are us, our AMAZING families- could never have done it without them. The next couple weeks i never felt stress. Maybe once one day. It was bliss. It still is. Hunter is the man i’ve dreamed of marrying my whole life and more. He was so patient and loving with me through all the planning. We have fallen in love more each day, and i now know what that feels like. He is my better half. There was almost no time to play or even go on a date! But it never worried me. Sunday, March 22nd he had his homecoming talk at church. He joked that he was just going to purpose on the stand hahah…so glad he didn’t. He did simply INCREDIBLE. There are no words for how amazing he is and the man he is becoming. I fell in love with him quite a bit that day. (i may or may not have bought his ring during church…shhh) No one knew we were planning on getting married except our immediate families and a few others…which was funny and hard not to say anything all day haha!
