A frigid afternoon is usually a recipe for tension but not for excited friends of NIC student Alaina Webb whose life was about to be changed forever.
Omar Gomez and Webb met in the North Idaho College dorms. Little did they know that with that first hello they would be making plans together to spend the rest of their lives just one year later.
On March 8, Webb’s boyfriend, Gomez, had pre planned a surprise flash mob for Webb as part of his plan to propose to her in front of all their friends and close family.
Marry You by Bruno Mars was blaring in the back of the car that Webb was sitting in. As the car slowly moved down Roseberry Drive, the mob followed her performing the choreographed dance and skit. Webb could not wipe the smile off of her face as she watched family, friends, and teammates perform for her in unison
When the song concluded, Webb’s best friend Callie Martin led Webb down the to the sandy beach of Lake Coeur d’Alene. There, Webb was greeted with notes of her and Omar’s greatest memories together. The notes were given to her followed by hugs from family members. With each note she walked closer to a set up table.
Martin set up a laptop that displayed a video containing shout outs to Webb from family and friends that live in her hometown in Bozeman, Montana. Her friends had a lot to say from back home; wishing they were able to witness the proposal and extend love from miles away.
When the video was over, Omar appeared behind her and kneeled onto one knee. He called his dog with the ring on his collar, and following the ultimate question, Webb said yes.
“I just wanted everything to be perfect for her,” Gomez said.
The anxious groom to be said that his intentions were to pop the question at the conclusion of a missions trip to Honduras over Spring Break.
“I just couldn’t wait and today is our one year anniversary so I thought it would be perfect,” Gomez said.
Webb was still in total shock minutes after the proposal had happened.
“I didn’t even see it coming,” Webb said.
The couple remained speechless while everyone congradulated them for taking that step forward in their relationship.
