The Proposal

Lake Como, Italy

At the beginning of 2023, Josh and Jenna planned a week-long vacation to Italy- Josh's first trip to Europe! They got their passports, booked their flights and Airbnb, and they were ready to relax on Lake Como! August came quickly, and while Jenna was packing bathing suits and far too many impractical shoes, Josh was packing an engagement ring! On the first full day, they booked a private boat to cruise around the Lake for two hours. As they were admiring the spectacular scenery, Josh was scouting the perfect place to propose to Jenna. He parked the boat in front of the famous villa, Villa Balbianello. As he was about to get down on one knee, Jenna spotted a swan swimming nearby the boat and insisted they feed it some fresh breadsticks. Jenna, ignorant and delighted with the swan encounter, asked if they could take the boat back toward the gazebo on the grounds of Villa Melzi. It was the most beautiful spot; perfect for a proposal. After lots of tears and pictures, they returned to the dock in Varenna and celebrated first with random strangers at the dock before getting drinks at the gardens of Villa Monastero, and then returning to the Airbnb to FaceTime family and friends! Then, at dinner, Jenna got a round of free Limoncello shots after flashing the ring! It was a dream come true!
