It was at his fire fighting graduation. The recruits were showing everyone all the things they learned. The last thing was climbling the ladder of the six story building that had smoke coming out of it.
The Chief asked me to go to the top and present Chris with the leadership award when he got up there as the class's top recruit. I snuck up, and he was the last person on the roof. With all his recruit buddies around, I made a speech and gave him the award. When he opened it, it was blank! Then he said there is no award, and got down on one knee and proposed!
I was beyond shocked -- I cried like a baby. All the guys were taking pictures of it for everyone on the ground. I just held the ring in my hand because I didnt know what finger it was suppose to go on. He got up and put it on for me. I then heard my dad on the radio. I looked over the building and our friends and family were all there cheering. The chief had his speaker on so they could hear! It was perfect!
