Kristi and John met at their Tae Kwon Do school when they were very young. They really didn't notice each other much until around 17. Well... to be clear...John started to notice Kristi at 17. It took Kristi a bit longer to catch on...Over the coming years their friendship developed leading them to summit mountains together, go climbing, and do anything active. Their shared love for the Lord and healthcare only deepened their connection. Many years later... after living in different cities, seeing different people, and traveling the world Kristi and John fell in love.
Roughly 150 miles off the coast of Barcelona is a tropical island floating in the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean. It is home not only to rock climbing and beautiful beaches, but also mucho mucho Tapas and Sangrias. Under the starlit night with waves gently washing over the white sand beach... John was on a knee... looking nervously into Kristi's blue eyes. John nervously stammered " Kristi I--" Suddenly he was interrupted by Juan the charming front desk attendant "Excuse me! I am going to take your picture now!" John could hardly get upset at the likable Spanish Mr. Bean Doppelganger who had agreed to take pictures of the proposal. The original plan was for Mr. Bean to follow them out of the hotel when they passed the front desk. Of course... Murphys Law was not on John's side. It took MULTIPLE passes by the front desk for Mr. Bean to get started on his photography mission. It took all of John's gimmicks and general silliness to distract Kristi until reaching the planned proposal location. "Of course" John said, handing over his phone. He said "Kristi, a long speech would not do you justice. I just know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" Kristi did not hesitate" Yes! Of course." After kissing... they ended their night as an engaged couple with a selfie including Spanish Mr. Bean as charming memento of the night they went from single to engaged.
