We were both living in Edinburgh, Scotland at the time and neither of us knew many people. We agreed to meet at a pub crawl. Rachel arrived, thinking she was meeting a man named Magda. To her surprise, he announced his name was Yann to the pub crawl crowd. At the end of the night, Yann offered to walk Rachel home. However, by the time he got there he realised he didn't know the way back to his accommodation, and was too tired to walk any further. Too gentlemanly to ask to stay the night, Yann slept in the stairwell of Rachel's apartment until he could muster up the energy to find his way home.

Ready for their next big adventure and move to France, we hosted a going away party and early birthday party to say au revoir to our friends. When it came time for speeches, Yann got down on one knee and asked Rachel to marry him! Rach said yes and now we can't wait to get married!
