In 2019, we had planned a trip to Greece, which we were set to embark on in September of 2020. Neto originally intended to propose there. Unfortunately, our trip had to be put on hold due to travel restrictions. Despite the cancelled trip, Neto was still planning to put a ring on it. Everyone was in on the proposal. Our entire families, friends, and even Neto’s staff knew, but everyone kept it a secret. When travel restrictions eased up a bit, we went to Oahu, Hawaii, to celebrate Vanessa’s birthday. Neto proposed on Lanikai Beach on November 8th, as the sun was setting and while close friends looked on. Vanessa thought she was getting a puppy (which she’s still waiting for NETO) but instead she got a ring!
