At the time we were doing long distance (for about 5 years!). I was in Atlanta and he was in SF.

 

In 2007, I had to be in SF for work on July 9th, so I flew in a few days earlier to spend the weekend with him. On Saturday we decided to go to Sausalito, even though it was already 5ish when we finally headed that direction. He said earlier that week that he wanted to take some pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. I always loved Sausalito and couldn't wait for another chance to visit No Name Girl shop that I love.

 

By the time we got there and parked, it was around 5:50pm, but No Name Girl actually closed a bit earlier even though the store hours should be until 6pm. Ugh. He was making fun of me because this is the second time I missed it coming all the way up there. We walked around and I managed to get him to agree to take a few pictures together. I should have known something was different because he usually doesn't want to be in the picture. Then we moved on to Sushi Ran - a sushi place that my friend highly recommended.

 

Anyway, dinner ran longer than expected so we were behind schedule. It was already dark and we still haven't took any pictures of the bridge yet. He said we could still stop by on our way back, he wanted to take a picture of the night view anyway. Unfortunately we missed that last exit before getting on the bridge to get to the popular photo spot, so we crossed the bridge and drove around to find a spot where we could see the entire bridge. We ended up around Lincoln Park, near the CA Palace of the Legion of Honor and finally parked. He started to set up his camera while I was doing my usual self portrait with my camera. Then he asked if I can help him hold something so I went over. It was already very dark so I didn’t see what he put in my palm. Initially I thought it was a screw driver or the camera cap, but then I suddenly realized it's a ring!

 

It's a diamond ring!!

 

Then I started screaming and then immediately said yes. Then I realized he hasn’t even asked me to marry him yet. He laughed and said he didn’t get a chance to because I've been screaming from the second I realized what it was. Finally he looked at me and asked "Will you marry me?" And I said yes for the second time.

 

That's how I got engaged :) Now I'll have to find time to write about my wonderful wedding :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
