Emma’s Perspective:

I am the WORST about secrets, so I knew something was coming…I just didn’t know exactly when. Daniel told me that he would be having graduation pictures taken by his friend, Chandler, on December 9th at 3:00. He invited me to jump in some of the pictures. The day began with brunch with my GA supervisor at Heritage House! After brunch, my parents called to tell me they had landed (they flew to Tuscaloosa to watch Daniel graduate the next day). Later that day, I had lunch with two of my best friends, Laura and Kathryn. They brought take out from one of my favorite restaurants and we ate on the floor of my bedroom while reflecting on all of the fun college memories we had. After eating lunch, Laura and Kathryn stayed while I got ready to go to Daniel’s graduation photos. We met Chandler at Bryant-Denny stadium and we made our way around campus until we got to the Science and Engineering Complex - this building housed the Chemistry lab we had met in three years prior. Daniel asked me to take a picture with him in front of the building; instead of taking a picture, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife!!!! It was the most special moment and felt to surreal. After Daniel proposed, we found a door that was unlocked to the building and we were able to go back to the exact lab room that we met in! We got some awesome pictures in the seats that we sat in and reflected on the best 3 years as we walked back to our car. Daniel and I called some family and friends before going back to his house where his family threw an engagement party for us! Our close friends and family celebrated the start of our life together so well and it was a day that I’ll never, ever forget!
