Chuka whisked me to our cherished restaurant, the very spot of our first Valentine's escapade. To my surprise, we snagged a table for five, ostensibly due to a lack of space. Initial irritation turned to joy as Jenny and Jem appeared—friends I hadn't expected. It dawned on me that Chuka orchestrated their presence, going to great lengths, even navigating European bureaucracies 😂. I could not believe Chuka had my friends go through so much to be there at my birthday in Civitanova, Italy. Yes, it was my birthday. Overwhelmed with emotion, I turned to look for the man who had done this beautiful thing. I found Chuka on one knee, a ring in hand, amidst heartfelt words, and in the enchanting setting of Civitanova, Italy, he asked the question that made my heart flutter. With tears in my eyes, of course I said, "Certo!"
