We met on a dating website. Our first date was a blind date at Java Roster in Lafayette. He suggested we come in cosplay. She was Amy Pond and he was The Doctor. We met for coffee and ended up talking for hours! After that first date, we saw each other several times a week for several months before making it an "official" relationship. THE PROPOSAL While in the planning stage of a trip to Germany, he suggested we dress as Waldo and Carmen San Diego on one of their sightseeing days. She agreed and costumes were put together. She decided which day to wear the costumes, and unknowingly decided the day he would propose. We wandered the streets of Frankfurt, Germany for several hours in costume. He sent her to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant to check prices for lunch, while he slipped into a locksmith shop. He bought a keyring. We enjoyed lunch at VietPho then made their way back to the hotel. She was worried about getting a picture of the costumes before they got ruined in the rain, so he asked a nearby man if he would take a picture. The man counted to 3, and just before he took the picture, William dropped to one knee and said, "Amber Marie Turnpaugh, will you marry me?" And she said, "Yes".
