MEET MATT POPP .. HE IS IN LOVE WITH JOY SHAFFER .. AND INSTEAD OF SCREAMING
IT OUT FROM A HILLTOP .. HE THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO PUT IN WRITING .. 14 FEET TALL AND 48 FEET WIDE.
JOY WILL YOU MARRY ME? I LOVE YOU MATT. .. ALL WITH A BEAUTIFUL ENGAGEMENT
RING IN THE RIGHT CORNER .. WHICH BY THE WAY .. IS THE ACTUAL ONE.
JOY SAID, "never would have expected a giant sign in the middle of town."
AH .. BUT THE SIGN WENT UP LATE FRIDAY MORNING .. AND MATT TOOK HER TO AN
EARLY DINNER .. THAT NIGHT .. "he said okay i have a big suprise for you but you have to close your eyes and i thought i don't want to close my eyes i want to see it all everything, i want to see it, i want to see it. and he said no it's not right you have to close your eyes," SAID JOY. SO THE COUPLE PULLS OVER AND GETS OUT OF HIS TRUCK .. BUT JOY SHAFFER IS SO STUNNED BY THE SIGN .. SHE ACTUALLY FORGETS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
"because i'm thinking, well that's why my mom was acting funny all week and that explains my boss laughing at me everytime i walked by and everything finally started to fall into place and finally he had to nudge me on the arm and say well you do want to marry me dont you. it's like yes, yes of course," SAID JOY.
AS FOR MATT WHO IS NOW .. BACK AT WORK ON AN OIL PLATFORM .. DESPITE ALL OF
HIS CLASSIFIED PLANNING .. HE WAS A LITTLE FLUSTERED AS WELL.
MATT SAID, "I wanted to get down on one knee and give her the ring but, just seeing the expression on her face just uh, made me freeze and lock up and i had a hard enough time just opening up the ring box just to give it to her."
BUT AT LEAST FOR THAT NIGHT THE RING TOOK A BACK TO SEAT THE PROPOSAL ON A
SIGN. JOY SAID, " so then we hopped on the freeway and drove around many time becasue i couldn't get enough of it."
MATT SAYS THEY ACTUALLY GET TO KEEP THE VINYL POSTER, ON THE SIGN AND HOPE TO HANG IT UP AGAIN AT THEIR WEDDING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT OCTOBER.
