December 2014 I (Summer) went to a Christmas Party at my step mom’s house. I had not seen my step mom or three step brothers in about 20 years. Little did I know I would meet the man I would marry 6 years later. Fast forward to December 2019- Love, laughter and a romantic cruise out to sea. Marc was lucky enough to snag a spot on a cruise for a job well done at work in 2019. On the nignt of December 11th, Marc and I were meeting some friends for drinks before dinner. We had just spent an amazing day on the beaches of Cozumel. As always I was running late and Marc was taking his time on the balcony. “Come out on the balcony for a minute, babe, it’s fine if we are late,” Marc says so I finish getting ready and step outside. The moon is full and bright with salt air and crashing waves making for the perfect back drop for what is about to happen. A few minutes later the clock is still ticking and now we are very late so I am getting frusterated. I stand up and push the slider door to go inside and get my things to leave. “Hey babe, just one more thing,” he says. I turn around and Marc is on one knee holding a box with a very shiny ring for me! I am in complete shock since we have only been dating for a few months. I yelled, “Oh my gosh, we have to get off the balcony so that ring does not fall in the ocean.” We go inside and I say, “well are you going to put the ring on my finger?” Through all of this Marc still hadn’t said anything. He finally says, “I have know for a long time that I want you to be my wife, I have had this ring in my pocket for the past three days.” Marc looked so relived to not have to keep this a secret anymore. “Well what do you say?” he says. I said “Yes!”
