On Top of the Mountain
One of Scott and my first dates was to Stone Mountain in Atlanta, GA. We hiked up the mountain and then got stuck at the top for three hours due to a bad thunderstorm. After we got down, I called my mom and told her that he was 'the one'. Many months later, we hiked to the top of Stone Mountain again. Once at the top, we walked to the edge overlooking a beautiful green lawn. Scott gave me binoculars and told me to look at the "white thing" in the field. After much resistance, I took the binoculars and stared down at a 35 foot long sign that said "Brooke - Marry Me?" I turned to him in disbelief and he was down on his knee holding out the most beautiful ring - a princess-cut ring with emerald-cut and round side stones. After I said yes, he surprised me with two plane tickets to New York City where we spent the next two days celebrating our engagement.
