Inside was a schoolbook charm and a heart charm. He then asked me to get out the car and take a picture in front of the school sign and then hugged me and said he wanted to pray with me. As he was praying out loud, he went down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I just started screaming, 'Yes, yes, yes!' I was so happy!" Number of wedding guests: 350.
