“So this is love, so this is what makes life divine.”.

We met at Harbor College and had political science together. Justine was late to her first class meeting and all the seats were taken except that one empty seat next to Joseph. She sat next to him and they started talking and became class partners in everything. She realized how smart he is and needed “help” in all that was assigned. We didn’t go on our first date until one year later.

His Perspective: The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the setting for a life changing experience. As we are ascending in the elevator shaft my heart is racing, for as soon as we exit the proposal begins. We make our way to a beautiful viewpoint. I eagerly set up the GoPro to capture all the excitement. I face her and repeatedly tell her that i love her. I say, "I love you and I can't live without you." I proceeded to get on one knee with my eyes slowly watering and asked "Justine, will you marry me?" Her Perspective: I was completely surprised, but the way he was acting the past few weeks made me have a hunch. He got distant when we went to the top of the Eiffel tower. My heart was racing when he stopped me to say how much he loves me. I felt like it was going to happen. His eyes started to become red. He said, "Justine, will you marry me?" I knew in my heart, I was ready as I'd ever be to take the next step with the man I love. I was flustered and first said, "Really?" Then when I realized what was happening, I said "Yes!"
