WE ARE ENGAGED!!! Isn't it great? Chris proposed on November 11, but the story of our engagement didn't start there. We were friends while we were at BYU and we had quite a few classes together. After we graduated we ended up working for the same district. We stayed in contact, but that was about it. During the Summer of 2008 we decided to get season tickets for BYU football through mutual friends. When the season started we decided to carpool to save gas and that's where WE began.
After the Wyoming game Rachelle wanted to see Chris's new condo. After the tour Chris took Rachelle to the balcony to talk. He decided to ask her out to the upcoming General Conference 3 weeks away. She said yes and a date was planned. We couldn't wait until then to go out for the first time and the next day Rachelle asked Chris to go to a fireside with her. He was ecstatic. They hung out almost every day that week and the rest is history.
On November 11 Chris proposed. It started with him having flowers delivered to Rachelle's school. The school interrupted class to deliver the flowers. She was so flattered and her little sevies were overcome with curiosity. Later that day Chris told Rachelle that he had to stay after school to do a sound check for the choir concert (a complete lie) and that she should come over around 4:15. Rachelle went home and Chris went to the jewelry store to pick up the ring and make preparations. About a minute after Rachelle got home there was a knock at the door where she recieved a dozen long-stemmed red roses. Rachelle couldn't wait until she could see Chris. At 4:15 Rachelle arrived at Chris's house and he greeted her with another dozen roses dressed very spiffy. They, ummm... "talked" for a few minutes then Chris took her to the place where our lives were forever changed, the balcony (where he first asked her out). They stood in the exact locations as before and Chris popped the question.
We are getting married on April 10, 2009 at 10:20 in the Salt Lake Temple. We are so excited to share our lives together for the rest of time and all of eternity!

Mom and Dad Reid are ECSTATIC that Rachelle and Chris have found each other. They are sooo much alike and Chris is already so dedicated to treating Rachelle so perfectly. She could not have fallen in love with a more perfect man. Happy Eternity!!
