I called Levi, my now fiance,  during the week and told him I wanted to have a date night on Saturday and go to dinner, etc. He said sure, and stated he'd make reservations at P.F. Chang's (our favorite restaurant). So on Saturday, we arrive at P.F. Chang's. "We have reservations at 5:00." Immediately the host reply's with, "Oh Levi, yes, right this way." Me thinking wow, that was a quick response, maybe we're the only ones with a 5:00 reservation. So we order food, drinks, etc. We chit-chat like normal. He of course is texting people, but more than usual... Then our food comes, and as soon as the food is set on the table, he has to use the restroom...odd. So he comes back and we eat. We finish dinner, the waiter asks if we'd like desert..and we both said no. So the waiter brings us the check. As Levi is paying, the hostess walks up and puts a pretty big box on the table and says, "Here's desert!" Wait a minute, we didn't order desert... So Levi slides it over to me and says to open it. I start to open it and see that it is a HUGE fortune cookie. As I'm opening it I think to myself, could this be it? Is he really going to ask me? But immediately I shoot down my thoughts because Levi had told me before he was going to tease me a bunch of times before actually asking me. So I continue opening the fortune cookie, read the fortune (which he came up with the saying) and as soon as I'm done reading, I look over and he's on his knee holding my ring! He asks, of course I start crying and all I could do was cover my mouth and shake my head. After crying, I finally said yes. The waiter then came over with 2 glasses of Champagne and strawberries! It was perfect!!! Everyone was so happy and congratulating us! So all along, he had this planned, but here I thought I had planned this little dinner date. Oh and his little bathroom trip -> he went to call his friend, Bryan, who had been sitting outside the WHOLE time waiting to bring in the cookie to the hostess table at just the right moment! So a big thanks goes to our usher, Bryan!

So from our engagement, I decided I wanted to include fortune cookies somewhere in our Wedding as a nice connection to our engagement. I thought as our favor to everyone we could hand out fortune cookies to everyone. With my suggestion of fortune cookies, my fiance then comes up with the idea of having Chinese food at the reception. At first, I laughed and thought he was joking. Come to find out he was serious! So we called around and luckily enough one of the caterers on The Fountain's list can do Chinese food! I'm super excited his little (well big) idea of a fortune cookies for his proposal is being used for so much our Wedding. And I can't wait to see our how people react to our 'off the wall' idea for Chinese food!

P.S. The fortune cookie in our picture is the actual cookie from our engagement on July 28th, 2008.
