…we got engaged!
It happened in Greenville, SC not too far from where I grew up. I was taking Lyndsay to visit for the weekend and had the perfect plan worked up in my mind. It involved going to a park that I used to like visiting when I was in high school. At the park, I was going to have a plaque made to look like a little memorial that said “At this place, Scott Crews proposed to Lyndsay Franklin, November 11, 2004.” I had the plan all set up…and then my friends Matt and Blair called me to tell me that since leaving for college, the park had been closed and turned into a giant dirt pile.
So…I needed a new park. Luckily there was a really nice new park downtown. We set everything up and pulled it off quite nicely. Matt and Blair had my camera and videotaped the whole thing.
Also, one of them had my digital camera and took some great pictures of us. This one is still the background on my laptop screen:
Thank you, Lyndsay, for deciding to say ‘Yes’ to marrying me five years ago today!
