we had gone to tofino for karahko's birthday, spent a beautiful night in a hotel and walked the beach searching for the perfect seashell. the whole weekend I kept making jokes about how being in tofino would've been the "perfect time to propose". weeks before he had asked my parents blessing to propose. then we sat on the beach looking at the water when he asked me to marry him. i didn't hear because I cut him off mid sentence and he had to repeat himself. obviously I said yes and then we searched for a ring. the most romantic moment of my life.
