Love is in the Air!

Love sure is in the air for some Pi Phi angels! In fact, four active members have gotten engaged from January to June and emotions have been running high ever since! Here are their stories and the amazing journeys they have gone through with their loved ones.

Samantha Rivotto

Samantha and Kent

How did Kent propose to you?
Kent proposed to me on January 17th after a week vacationing together in Florida. I became really sick the last day of our vacation. So, when we got home my parents were being very careful about what I was doing and taking care of me. Kent really wanted to go to a nice dinner before going back to school and life got crazy again. Since I was sick, I did not want to get all dressed up and go to dinner. After a lot of convincing, I finally agreed. We went to the Renee Kelly Harvest House which is a castle turned restaurant. We sat down and started looking at the menu. Kent put down his menu and said, "there is something I really need to talk to you about." When he said this I thought nothing of it because he sometimes just does this so I kept looking at the menu. After a while, he was still talking so I looked up and Kent began to look very pale and nervous so I began listening. All of a sudden, he went down on one knee and proposed! Afterwards, I looked up and saw a camera flash and a professional photographer taking pictures. The photographer wanted to take more pictures downstairs and as I opened the door to the room downstairs, both of our families were waiting for us. I immediately began crying and ran and hugged my dad. We all had dinner together and took pictures. It was perfect!

How are you feeling at this point? 
Right now I have been so busy with school and work I barely have time to think! I am anxious and want it to be here already. We have decided to wait until we are both done with school to get married.

*Samantha and Kent will get married April 18, 2015 at Milldale Farms in Edgerton, Kansas with 250 people on the guest list.*

Shelby Nelson

Shelby and Ross

How did Ross propose to you?

Ross and are high school sweethearts. We met my freshman year of high school and have been dating for 6 years now. Ross proposed to me on top of a mountain in Winter Park, Colorado while we were on a ski trip. It was our last day skiing and Ross had asked me to go to the top of the mountain with him one last time. When we went up there, he handed me a Winter Park shirt that I had been wanting as a souvenir. Wrapped up inside of the shirt was a very sweet note Ross had written to me. In the note, he explained why he loved me and that he needed to ask me a question that he could never ask anyone else. After i was done reading the note, I looked up and Ross was on one knee and asked me to marry him...on top of a beautiful mountain! It was so perfect and I was completely surprised. It has been the best day of my life by far!

How are you feeling at this point?

I am nothing but excited to get married. My mom does a lot of the planning so I'm not too stressed about anything, just really anxious for the day that I become Mrs. Timothy Ross Ditch!

*Shelby and Ross will get married May 24, 2014 at the Town Pavillion in downtown KC with around 300 people on the guest list.*

Emily Myers 

(Senior)

Emily and Brad

How did Brad propose to you?

Brad and I met in high school. We have been dating for 6 years and I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life! The way he proposed was so typical to what kind of a person he is. He took me to the lake to go fishing, and he tied the ring on my fishing pole when I wasn't looking! I didn't even realize what was happening until he got down on one knee. It was perfect and I am so blessed to be engaged to such a caring, loving guy. I can't wait to experience so much in life with him!

How are you feeling at this point? 

I am so excited at this point! I have a lot of the planning done, as far as the big things go! I haven't been too stressed about anything yet, but I'm sure that will come the closer it gets. It's an incredible, new experience!

*Emily and Brad will get married June 7, 2014 in Manhattan, Kansas with around 300 people on the guest list.*

Harriet Reymond

Harriet and Aaron

Harriet and Aaron were just recently engaged a few weeks ago. They met through a mutual friend and have been inseparable since. More details are to come!

How are you feeling at this point?
I am really excited for the wedding, just not for the wedding planning. It is definitely a lot to do and can be pretty stressful.

*Harriet and Aaron will get married June 14, 2014 at Redeemer Church in Overland Park, Kansas with around 250 people on the guest list.*
