We were on day 23 of our 35 day road trip around Europe. We woke up early, ate a not so good breakfast and set out on our adventure of the day. We were heading to San Gimignano, Tuscany Italy to go on a private hot air balloon ride over the Tuscan Country side. They blew up the balloon and we loaded into the basket. It was a beautiful ride! We landed in a distant field and the rest of the crew was setting up our Champagne Brunch. I'm hungry at this point and Mark just kept asking me to take a picture that I clearly didn't want any part of. He finally convinced me to take the darn picture. There we are, standing with our arms around each other and he starts stepping away. At this point I'm confused as all get out! Until I see him down on one knee asking me to be his wife! "Are you serious?! Are you really Serious?!?!!!" I was so over joyed that I didn't even notice the ring, I thought he had changed his mind mid trip and it was a spur of the moment type of deal. We then drove to Rome and Mark had to listen to me call him "Fiance" for an hour :)
