We were on a three-day friendsgiving (thanksgiving with friends) trip in Tahoe when on the second day Sahil decided that we should go for a romantic early dinner date before joining our friends at the casino that evening. Despite protests that it was too cold outside (snow and rain), I was asked to put on the pretty red dress I had carried for a fancy evening out at the casino (one of the many things Tahoe is known for). We made a pit stop on the way at the Emerald Bay and for a change Sahil wanted to click pictures so even though I was freezing to death, I obliged. He set the camera on the tripod and "put on the self-timer" and then before I knew it he whispered sweet nothings in my ear and went down on one knee. I can't even begin to describe the myriad of emotions I went through. Teary-eyed, cold and yet beyond elated, I said yes! - Vashti
