Kurt Adams, 25, of Roy, arranged to have patrons of Lagoon amusement park’s Sky Ride hold signs reading “Susan will you marry me?” so he could propose to his girlfriend of nine months, Susan Hamilton, of Loa, on Saturday. It took Adams two weeks to coordinate the proposal, recorded by his parents, who were riding in the chairlift behind them. Susan accepted, and they kissed. Kurt says he was relieved the proposal was a success, because Susan turned to him to discuss the coincidence of her name on the first sign and almost missed the following sign.

OGDEN — An addition to the MTC Park in Ogden is a cute attraction as well as a monument to the volunteers who serve there each week.

A carved female and a male bear, facing each other with a bench between them, are adorned with the words “Love Hill” encased in a heart and the instructions “propose here.” Both bears have the wide eyes of those contemplating marriage.

“I thought because they are posing for pictures all the time and weddings, something romantic would fit in,” said Dennis Miller, who carved the bears and made the bench between them, then built steps up the hill to the creation.
