The proposal took place on our 2 year anniversary trip to Wilmington, NC. During a fun, food-filled and rainy beach trip, in a very charming Airbnb, Karim got down on one knee, showed a ring and uttered some very romantic words. Almost instantly, and before Karim even had the chance to pop the question, the waterfalls, known as Val’s eyes, began flowing. She started nodding her head up and down which Karim hoped and accepted to mean yes, although he wasn’t quite sure if she had heard anything he said (she hadn’t). The ring was Karim’s mom’s ring and Val loves it and feels honored to have a family heirloom.
