Jake surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for my birthday in July. I was super excited and ready to leave! Once we arrived and settled in, Jake had tried to make a dinner reservation at the Four Seasons Resort. They were all booked, so upon arrival, we winged it and tested to see if we could get seated anyways. Luckily there were spots at the bar, so we sat in the perfect location with the view of the beach. We ordered a bottle of wine, some appetizers, and different sushi to share. We finished our food with some wine leftover, so we took some glasses and walked towards a private area on the beach. It was SO GORGEOUS because it was during sunset and the glow of the water was spectacular. We walked over to a bench and admired the view. Jake wanted to get me on the sand, so he asked if I knew how to skip rocks. Once he could get me to be in front of him, I heard him say, “turn around.” I turned around and saw him on his knee. At that moment, I was THE happiest person in the world because I knew he was about to change my life forever. It was just him and me for that moment; nothing else mattered. Jake gave his speech then asked me to marry him. I said YESSSSS!!!
