It was a surprise proposal on Friday, October 9, 2009. Not a surprise that we wanted to marry each other but he lived in Orem (I lived in Cedar City 3 hours south) and told me he couldn’t get work off and had lots of homework so he couldn’t come to cedar city this weekend. I was a little bummed...but little did I know, not only was he coming to cedar but he had a LOT planned and I was the only one who didn’t know about it.
I have to preface my story though: Matt and I dated our Junior and Senior year in high school. To avoid getting too serious we decided to only go to Sadies and Prom together and go to the other dances with other people. But when prom came he asked someone else...I was sad and he ended up not going at all and I went with someone else because I was sad he didnt ask me.
Then one Friday in October of 2009 I was sitting in my bedroom eating Wingers and watching Wedding Planner by myself when my roommate Kady came in to make sure I was ok my first weekend without Matt since he's been home from his mission. Then this guy Nick called and said he's coming to "kid-nap" us to raise money fro breast cancer (If we raise enough money they let us free) I was NOT in the mood but finally they got me to put a dress on and get in the car. We were blindfolded and led all over and I had no idea what was going on except for I hoped this fundraiser was short! (Also a note to know: I always make wishes at 11:11 and kiss the clock- it works try it!)
So at 11:11 PM Nick and Kady both let go of me and I was blindfolded and confused. Then I heard a whisper in my ear, "Shar it's 11:11 make a wish!!" from Matts voice! I was like "shut up!" and ripped off the blind fold. I couldnt believe that he was there, and then I couldnt believe what I saw! Look how surprised I look in the picture.
He and my Alpha Phi sisters and friends had the church gym decorated all like prom with blue and gold balloons, stars, confetti, christmas lights, signs and music playing! Matt got down on his knee and said, "I made a mistake in High school when I didnt ask you to prom and I'll probably make a lot more mistakes in our life but you are the only person I want to spend eternity making it up to. Sharlene Witt will you marry me?" I teared up a little because it was so beautiful! I OF COURSE said "YES!!" and jumped into his arms and hugged and kissed him.
He placed the most beautiful ring on my finger and I know he loves me so much. I love him and he is so cute and thoughtful. We are SO HAPPY and excited! I have the best roommates, sisters and friends!! We danced to our song and it was the best night ever!! I LOVE you Matt!
