In January of 2018, Jacek & I decided to go on a trip to Florida to celebrate our 8-year anniversary. We spent two days in Miami & then went on a classic drive to Key West down the Florida Keys Overseas Highway. On our last day in Key West, we made a late afternoon dinner reservation at a restaurant on Duval Street. We arrived in the city ahead of schedule so Jacek pulled over by the Key West Lighthouse and said we should check it out as we have time to spare. The gentleman at the front desk reception informed us that the lighthouse was already closed for the day but he made an exception and let us in so we can see the sunset. As I was walking up the spiral staircase, I had no idea what was about to happen. When we finally got to the top, I looked at the gorgeous view for few seconds and as I turned around to see Jacek, there he was on his knee asking me to be his wife! I said "YES!" immediately and gave him my hand so he could put the MOST BEAUTIFUL RING on it! In a few moments I discovered another big surprise. Two of our friends were hiding in the lighthouse with a bottle of champagne and capturing this remarkable moment for us. We enjoyed a romantic dinner that evening and then spent the night celebrating with our friends.
