It was a beautiful night at the top of the Shenandoah National Park. While we were idly sitting together on a stone and searching for different stars on the sky, we felt the connection to time, to space, and to each other. I looked into her eyes, and asked whether she would be willing to be my one, and she said Yes :-)

I planned to propose during the sunset, since the moment when we sat together waiting for the sunset in Hawaii has always been a romantic memory for us. Unfortunately, it rained that afternoon, but then magically became sunny during night with a clear sky. So I suggested to go to Shenandoah National Park to see stars and she happily agreed "Yea, sure". This is probably what destiny means to us --- on top of Shenandoah again, below the starry galaxy and in front of the distant city lights, she said "Yes"! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Crozet, Virginia!
