Her perspective:

We spent the day with his mom and the topic of our future plans had come up, when we went back to Hayden's apartment later that day we spoke about it again. Me, trying to be funny said "Well what's the point of talking about it anyway, you don't have a ring". In retrospect I absolutely knew a proposal was eminent I just didn't know when! He hugged me and jokingly asked "What would you say if I asked you to marry me right now?", I took in our surroundings, which was a room full of laundry and I replied, " Well I would say yes, but I wouldn't tell anyone where we were because of all the laundry!". We laughed and I continued to pack my things to go back to my apartment. He hugged me again and asked me to take a walk with him. We walked down to the Las Colinas Riverwalk and we stumbled upon some trees wrapped in lights and a bench looking out at the water, we sat down and he asked again, " What would you say if I asked you to marry me now?". At that moment it all made sense and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!

His perspective:

I had only had the ring for a couple days, and it was already burning a hole in my pocket. I had been trying to come up with ideas and plans in the weeks and months but they all fell through. So, I decided it would probably have to be somewhat on the fly without too much planning so I didn't psych myself out of doing it. Two days after I got the ring, she was getting her stuff together to go home for the night and I playfully asked what she would say if I asked her to marry me right there. She replied, "I'd say yes but I wouldn't tell anyone we were surrounded by your dirty underwear". I was not being serious at all, but, she then added, "You don't even have a ring yet! So why are you even asking me that?". Since she decided to taunt me so, I developed a plan in the span of a few seconds of how I could do it that night. I asked if she'd go for a walk with me before she left. We went to the nearby riverwalk and found a nice bench on the lake where I asked, "What would you say if I asked you right here?" I could tell it was starting to click for her, which is when I got on a knee and asked her to be my wife. I had no idea I was going to ask her when I woke up that day.
