Skye+Luke: Engagement

When asked how they first met, Luke flashed Skye his smile, and she turned to Skye insisting she's way better at telling the story and so here it is. They met seven years ago at the University of Saskatchewan. Skye was in her first year and Luke in his second, both attending the College of Agriculture. Skye is a sweet city girl, and no offence out there to my cowboy friends, but she was not really into the typical Ag Guys: wrangler jean wearing, belt buckle, cowboy get-up. Even her dad joked about if Skye went into Ag she would end up marrying a farmer! Guess dads have an intuition about these things because Luke is a farm kid.

Lucky for Skye, (who was determined not to date a cowboy) Luke didn''t fall into the typical cowboy mold. She noticed him right away, probably because he was wearing board shorts and had long blond hair. He definitely stood out next to the other guys. It was not until the Christmas party that they hit it off and ended up exchanging phone numbers and he called me for a date the next night.

Skye suggested sushi, which was fun because Luke had never used chopsticks before, but took it like a champ! And after the movie, which neither can remember because of the nagging thoughts of whether to hold hands or not. But it went pretty well as right after they were a couple. So when it came time to pop the question, Luke arranged to have a private Christmas dinner before they got together with the family. They decided to also exchange their gifts and get it out of they way because of the busy family Christmas a couple days later. Luke barely looked at his gift while insisting she opened hers. So Skye thought she knew what was coming next... she was getting so excited to see the ring, when SURPRISE... what a beautiful GREEN SCARF!! She looked deeper into the gift bag certain, there must me some mistake it has to be in here. So while she was distracted doing that Luke was already beside her on one knee. In the end she got her surprise!

Skye & Luke I had a blast out with the two of you, my stomach hurt at the end of the night from laughing along with you. I can't wait for your dream wedding this summer, you guys rock!

Thanks for bringing all the great props!
