The Proposal

April 6, 2019

Her Story: Sabin planned a getaway for our 5th year anniversary. My jaw dropped as we pulled up to this amazing 5-star hotel. The morning of April 6th, we had a delicious breakfast with a beautiful view and decided to go for a walk and take photos by Lake Tahoe. On the drive there, he said he was going to poop himself (how cute), so as soon as we arrived I waited in the car while he looked for a bathroom. He came back to the car and together we made our way down. As we approached this area with the most stunning view, I spotted a step stool. I asked why that was there and he said, "Park Rangers put it there so people could get on the boulder to take photos." I didn't second-guess it, shrugged, and climbed onto the boulder while he set up the tripod. He quickly scurried onto the boulder next to me and before I could even fix my hair for the photo he was already down on one knee. I immediately started ugly crying and when I could finally see through my tears Sabin asked, “So, is that a yes?” and the rest is history! His Story: I promised her a getaway for our anniversary, so this was the perfect opportunity for a surprise proposal. I hired local photographers who helped me choose the picture-perfect spot at Lake Tahoe. The morning of the proposal, I could barely stomach my breakfast as I was telling her that we should go take photos at Tahoe’s best viewpoint. As soon as we arrived, I told her to wait in the car because I was going to find somewhere to poop, but instead went to make sure the photographers were ready to capture the perfect moment. I sprinted back up to get Christina and together made our way to the boulder that the photographers marked with a heart. Next thing I know I was down on one knee, forgot my whole spiel, but after her tears remembered to ask, "So is that a yes?" and lucky for me she said yes and gave me a nice, big smooch!
