We are engaged! Calling everyone from Paris and sharing the news!
During a quick weekend in Paris Eric invited Susana for a picnic. He ordered some food, bought some wine, packed a bag, and called an Uber. They departed for picnic destination unknown, arriving at a restaurant just outside the city on the River Seine. Confused, Susana wondered why they were at a restaurant with a picnic bag full of food, but soon realized there was a private boat standing by to take them down the river. Lunch was enjoyed, wine opened, and Eric asked Susana why she loved him. She answered, then he shared why he loved her. It was a long-standing joke that she loved him so much no ring was required and all she needed was a paperclip, so Eric reached into his pocket and pulled out an assortment of colored paperclips and put them on the table in front of her to choose from right as a view of the Eiffel Tower emerged. While stunned looking at the paperclips, magically a box with a ring also appeared, followed by those 4 magical words - 'Will you marry me?" She smiled, put the ring on, gave him a kiss. Another 30 seconds passed and in true Eric fashion he clarified if that was a "yes". Susana kept all the paperclips, declaring the yellow one her favorite. Num fim de semana em Paris, o Eric convidou a Susana para um piquenique. Partiram de Uber para destino incerto para a Susana, e chegaram a um restaurante nos arredores da cidade, nas margens do rio Sena. Confusa, a Susana questionou porque estariam num restaurante com um saco de piquenique, mas depressa se apercebeu que havia um barco privado à espera para os levar a passear no rio. Degustaram o almoço, abriram uma garrafa de vinho, e Eric perguntou à Susana por que o amava. Ela respondeu, e depois ele também partilhou as principais razões por que a amava. A Susana costumava brincar há muito tempo que gostava tanto do Eric que não era necessário um anel para o pedido de casamento, e que um clipe de papel seria suficiente... E então, o Eric colocou a mão no bolso e tirou um conjunto de clipes de papel coloridos e colocou-os na mesa à frente da Susana, enquanto se erguia a Torre Eiffel ao longe. Enquanto ela olhava atordoada para os clipes, quase como por magia, uma caixa com um anel também apareceu, seguida pelas palavras mágicas - Queres casar comigo? Depois de um claro "Sim", a Susana guardou todos os clipes, e declarou o amarelo o seu preferido.
