Christian Family Chronicles: February 2010

Friday night was an exciting night around the Christian home. Greyson Campbell proposed to Meredith Christian and now it is official. Bill and I have known for a while that it was going to happen but were waiting to get the word from Greyson. Bill and Greyson have had multiple conversations since Greyson asked for her hand on Labor Day weekend. When he called last Sunday night and said he would be here in an hour, we knew what was coming. Greyson showed us the ring and I started crying. It is beautiful and exactly what Meredith would have picked out for herself. He had been researching and looking for a ring since October, and he finally found the perfect one.

Greyson had a great plan to surprise Meredith, but needed all the details to work out perfectly. Meredith thought we were going out to eat for her birthday, but little did she know people were driving in from all over to witness this special event.

The timing was crucial. Kaitlin was the pointgirl in all of this and was able to get everyone there at the same time. It was horribly cold and rainy, which posed a problem for all the people waiting outside, but we were able to get them inside the garage without Meredith hearing anything. We were all waiting for her to find the special note Greyson had written to tell her that her present was outside. Meredith walked out, totally surprised, and the rest is history. In front of family and friends, Greyson got down on one knee and proposed. Of course, Meredith said "yes." Hugs and tears followed. After everyone came inside to warm up, we went out to celebrate at Fuji Cafe, Meredith's favorite sushi place.
