We had just arrived in the Azores, our second time traveling there together. Alex has a lot of extended family that lives there, so they planned a family BBQ for the day after we arrived. Alex's family was all gathered, eating and drinking and having a great time. After a little while, Alex gathered the family around for a "family photo". He called Shannon to the front and got down on one knee and asked Shannon to marry him in front of all of his loved ones. Alex even hired a photographer to capture everything with a camera and a drone. The entire proposal was a surprise, and the location was something out of a fairytale. Shannon and Alex look forward to going back there every year to remember the special moment together.
