The proposal

July 23rd 2025

It was a beautiful day in Sorrento Italy. Oliver had arranged for Emina to distract Antonella during the day so he could get everything he needed for the proposal, with the help of Myles, with the excuse of getting some beers and supplies. After several failed attempts of finding a nail salon, Antonella and Emina ended up grabbing a drink and a beverage at a pool bar. They were having a girls day looking for picture spots to stop by as well as finding a beach to play mermaids in and meet up with the guys later. Antonella kept wondering during the day what time the guys were going to be back from the errands but of course was distracted having a photo shoot by the beautiful coast of Sorrento. In the meantime, Oliver and Myles, spent several hours going from one flower shop to another one as all of the ones they found in google maps were closed. They soon realized it was due to siesta time and shops close but usually re open. They gave it an hour or two to check them out again but non of them re opened. Accepting defeat, they returned to the Airbnb to get ready to meet up with the girls. We spent the afternoon on the beach, swimming in the ocean, having snacks lounging on our chairs and of course drinking some Grapa Myles had picked up. Before the evening arrived we decided to head back to the Airbnb. The whole way back Oliver kept speed walking and low key trying to hurry up the group. Antonella was getting suspicious. We started getting ready to go out for dinner. Antonella asked Emina for her opinion on which dress she should wear, to which she suggested the white dress and that’s when Antonella automatically knew it was happening. Oliver was pacing back and forth in the living room as the sun was starting to set. As Oliver says, waiting 5,000 years for Antonella to get ready. Finally, Oliver came into the room and told Antonella how pretty she looked and if she could come see the sunset with him on the balcony. They stepped out to the balcony to see the most beautiful orange and pink sunset, Oliver went down on one knee and said: This has been the greatest adventure, would you want to keep going on crazy adventures with me for the rest of our lives, would you marry me?…
