My fiance proposed two weeks ago on the beach while we were visiting family in CA. We'd just left the zoo and were heading home for the evening. I knew we were going to hit bad traffic, so I opted to take him up PCH (pacific coast highway) and stop off at a beach to burn some time before getting onto the freeway again.
It was a GORGEOUS day. I couldn't ask for anything more beautiful. The sky was clear, the water was a gorgeous blue and clear as well. It was just fantastic. As we were walking down the beach he asked me. It was really amazing. I'm thrilled to be marrying him.
This will be a second marriage for both of us. We both had gotten to a point where we'd assumed we'd never meet anyone again, and then BAM... Perfect person came along
He's from VA, and I grew up in CA (though I've been living in VA for the past few years). It's going to be a long engagement since the next 2 years of school will go straight through. But in May/June of 2014 we'll be tying the knot!
