1/10/2008 marked our 4 year anniversary, but he proposed on 12/30/2007 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. I sort of had an idea since we were going to have a nice dinner to celebrate our anniversary early, but I wasn't expecting him to propose at that spot.

We lucked out because it was such a beautiful and clear day in the city. We walked around and sat on a bench near the pond. He gave me his ipod because he wanted me to watch a video that he and his friends made (they often like to record funny short skits). The gist of the video was that everyone was trying to find Marlon, and some of his friends "captured" his sister to force her to reveal Marlon's whereabouts. When she broke free in the last scene of the video, she "calls" Marlon up and says, "Hey, your friends are looking for you. But I didn't tell them where you were at. Nope, I didn't tell them you're at the Palace of Fine Arts with a surprise for Kristen." Once the video ended, that's when he proposed!

 

Afterwards, we enjoyed a really nice dinner at Roys (Hawaiian fusion restaurant). And to top off the perfect evening, we watched 'Rocky'. I know I know, but can you believe that it was actually my idea? Mainly because I've never seen any of the Rocky movies except the most recent one (Rocky Balboa), and I was inspired because one of the guys in the video runs around the UCLA campus to the Rocky theme.
