After a rainy day of activities on Captiva Island, we came back to Naples. I was planning a proposal on the beach, just the two of us, at sunset. Melanie was with us, and decided she did not want to go for a walk on the beach, especially as it was cloudy. I stepped away to shave and get the ring. Margarita thought it funny I would shave before walking on the beach. After shaving, I put the ring box in my pocket. I was concerned she would see the large bulge of the ring in my swimsuit. We headed to the beach. As we were walking, the clouds parted and the sun peaked through. I looked into Margarita's eyes, told her I love her very much, and would she marry me. She went into a type of mental coma, and just stared at me with a blank expression. It took a little while for her to recover, this time I got on my knees. She was still in partial shock/surprise. I stood up, kissed her and asked for a reply. The below pic is shortly after the proposal.
