The Proposal June 22, 2012

Ok, because there is no way I can describe the majesty of our day without my engagement overshadowing it, I'll separate the day's events by describing just the proposal, because it is all too exquisite to describe in one sitting.

As we rounded the entrance to St Peters Square after the hub-bub of the Sistine Chapel and the rosary-buying experience, we decided to take "couple pictures" overlooking the square.

First, Ernie and Vicky went, of course, amazing picture. After that, Nelson nonchalantly gave my camera to Ernie and casually said, "Hey, Ernie, take a picture of us, too", unbeknownst to me, Alex had the other camera ready, too. We started to pose and next thing I knew, he was on one knee looking up at me.

"Will you marry me?"

These are the most powerful words I have ever heard, and for a second, I couldn't breathe. I dont know if I hesitated, but in my brain, I couldn't say YES fast enough. Nelson says a bunch of people were clapping in the square, but I only had eyes for one man.
