Dylan Payne and the future Taylor Williams Payne!!
As we pulled up to the house last Monday night, this is what greeted us! A beautiful rainbow which symbolizes the love of God to his children. Another one of his promises is that we can have eternal life and much happiness is this life.
Family and friends gathered to aid Dylan in his plan to ask the love of his life to marry him!
His plan included the family! Dylan, you know EXACTLY how to touch the hearts of this family...include them! They were all excited to join in the plot to surprise Taylor. Even the littlest of local cousins were included!
Dylan had bought t-shirts that spelled out:
T-A-Y-L-O-R, W-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E?
Complete with perfect punctuation!
Everyone waited with anticipation! No one wanted to spoil this special occasion. Cousins laughed and played around. Sisters were wide-eyed with excitement! Friends gathered to sneak a peek into this beautiful family's inner circle of love.
After several practices led by Calvin, our fearless leader...everyone was ready to go!
As Taylor neared the backdoor a hush came over everyone as Grandpa Thiess called Dylan over to take his place in his "ME" shirt!
My favorite part of the whole evening was Taylor's expression when she realized that it was time. It was time for her to join with Dylan and their future together.
She was sincerely surprised and touched.
You could literally feel the love between them!
And a kiss to seal the deal!
I love the joy in this mother's face as she embraces these two wonderful kids!
Look at the tears still present in Dylan's eyes!!
Nana Thiess leads in a festive song just for the occasion!
Days later Taylor posted a new picture of she and her fiancee and hashtagged that she is "marrying up." I think that Dylan is just as lucky to have this amazing girl to share his forever with. You are both "marrying upward" in my book!
I love this picture of their friends and family sharing smiles over Taylor's wise choice to say, "YES!"
I love that these girls got to witness the way things should be! A worthy boy who is completely in love, taking his love to the temple FOREVER!!
