“Words can’t express how incredible today has been. My day started with a windy path to a beautiful lighthouse, and ended with the perfect view, perfect ring, and perfect man to call my fiancé. We’re engaged!” -Courtney These were my words I chose to share that evening that express my excitement for our engagement. It was such a beautiful day, and I was clueless that it would turn into one of the most exciting days of my life. To be quite honest, it happened so fast. I was completely caught off guard... so much so that Michael’s words were a blur. Fortunately, he remembered them.... "This weather, the wind up here is crazy huh?. Kind of like us, like our love. We’re crazy and I know that, but I think we’re a lot like this light house too. We’ve been around a long time and we’re still standing even with everything going on around us. And even with all this craziness, with all of it, everything together, it's beautiful up here right? Like us, I think what we have is beautiful too. Don’t you? Courtney Marie, you’re the only girl I’ve ever loved and the only woman I ever want to love... Will you marry me?" Obviously, I said "YES!" I had been waiting for this moment for a very long time, and I must admit, it was well worth the wait.
