So I had to start stalling a bit. During this time, friends and family are setting up the proposal sight at the temple. There was my parents, Jordyn's parents, Jordyn's friend Megan, and my buddy Brady with his wife Kenna. They were a huge help putting together such a beautiful setup for the proposal.

I figure they need more time to get things set up so I take my sweet time driving slowly to the temple even making a wrong turn or two. When we were leaving La Jolla Grove Jordyn was commenting about getting to the canyon quickly before the sun goes down, since my fake plan was to take family pictures in the canyon and go to a pumpkin patch. Apparently, she noticed that I didn't seem at all concerned about daylight since I was going so slow. I was wanting the sun to go down so that candles they set up would look nice and romantic in the low light.

Anyway, the drive to the temple is when I am the most nervous. Nervous about the proposal going right and also timing my arrival right and making sure the candles were lit before we arrived. It was difficult to stay in communication with the group message without Jordyn noticing. At one moment I felt like passing out because I knew at some point I'd be turning to drive towards the temple instead of the canyon. I knew she would know that something is up, but I had not yet come up with an excuse yet for the sudden change of destination. I made a quick turn off of University Avenue and into the south parking lot of the Provo City Temple. I was thinking at this time that Jordyn must know what's coming.
