Out Of The Blue…
I knew that my finance was going to propose sooner or later, but I had no idea he was planning this!
We were out for a walk down to the seaside. It was a beautiful day, clear skies, balmy breeze. Sometimes we rented kayaks, just to poke around the various bays and beaches in the area.
On this particular day, we decided to rent a double-kayak, one that we could both sit in. We got in and paddled around, lost track of the time and the tides and soon found ourselves on a little beach island pretty late in the afternoon.
We paddled up to shore and got out, and went along a little trail into the brush. He was behind me and suddenly he yelped. I turned around, and saw him down on his knee on the path behind me. He was proposing!
I was so surprised, all I could do was stare until I really realized what he was doing. Then I heard a great cheer. My soon-to-be-husband had planned it all along and had invited a dozen of our friends to the island to celebrate!
We spent the rest of the evening in paradise – the perfect warm weather, best friends, champagne, appetizers and cake, which led to the next decade of absolute love my husband and I share together.
