CLEARFIELD — Spencer Gallegos was starting to feel light-headed as his nerves increased in anticipation of his planned, public marriage proposal.

Gallegos, a 22-year-old firefighter with the North Davis Fire District, spent months trying to decide how to propose to his 21-year-old girlfriend Brittany Craven. Those deliberations led him to the Fourth of July parade in Clearfield.

The parade started at 9:30 a.m. At first, he was walking alongside the large, red fire truck waiting until they approached the spot where his parents and Brittany were sitting.

"We just made it more of an overall experience," said Ogden Pioneer Heritage Foundation Chairman Brad Galvez.
