We took our annual vacation and planned to country hop around Europe. I had a hunch Greg might propose on the trip and got to the airport ready to get this adventure started. Before boarding, Greg looked at me and loving said “I know you think I’m proposing on this trip, you’d expect it so it’s not happening”. Talk about crushing dreams. 11 hours later, we landed in Brussels to start our proposal-less trip. Seven days into the trip, and three countries later, we landed in Rome Italy. Rome was magical the moment we stepped off the plane. My little sister really wanted to see Rome so she flew in the next day to sightsee with us. We had 4 days to explore the city and eat really good food. We sure lived it up. Our last full day we were busy- tour of the Vatican, then we dashed over to the Colosseum and ended with a fountain garden in Tivoli. We managed to just squeeze all activities in as we were the last guest allowed in at the garden. When we got there, Erica grabbed my camera and said she wanted to be the cameraman on this adventure. As we were ending our tour, we round the corner and see the last fountain. Erica (in the strangest voice now that I look back on it) said, “This is the perfffffecccctttttt spot”. Erica asked Greg to take a picture of us so we can see the backdrop. Greg takes the picture and hands the phone to Erica and slid off to the side. Erica has me look at the phone, and says “Oh, this is perfect” and before I realized it, she backed out and pointed behind me. As quickly as I turned around to see what she was pointing at, I turned right back around in complete shock. Poor guy on one knee for 10 minutes before I heard my sister tell me to turn around. I couldn’t tell you what he said. I was in shock. I don’t remember saying yes. Don’t worry, we checked the video to make sure I said yes ;) And just like that, April 25, 2017… our lives changed forever.
