We flew to Puerto Rico... We had a beautiful dinner... We had luck gambling... We took a stroll under the stars... We went up to our hotel suite... He knelt on his knee... He reached into his pocket... I cried on his shoulder... I SAID YES! :DAll of my dreams have come true this weekend. We have made our future marriage official and I am engaged to my soul mate and my best friend.
I am so lucky to be accepted into E.W.'s amazing family and my family welcomes him with open arms.
You + Me = A world of possibilities and dreams coming true.
Puerto Rico was a perfect place for E.W. to propose. This is where we first bonded and where we first began to fall in love.
On our first trip to PR we arrived as two people trying to get to know each other and left inseparable.
This particular trip was no different than any other except for E.W. constantly staring off into space for no apparent reason (reason is obvious now).
E.W. caught up on his work by the pool. He's a workaholic but eh... it pays the bills.
I chowed down on fruit and sipped on strawberry mojitos.
Once in a while we would get a cold drink from our favorite bartender Miguel. He is always there every time we visit PR and we love catching up with him. He usually charges us for only half our drinks so can we be considered Puerto Rico pool bar regulars?
A rare moment is when E.W. orders a beer.
An ever rarer moment is when a beer bubble forms inside the beer bottle. Miguel, a bartender of 30 years, has never even seen such a thing.
The pool bar was a nice place to do a spontaneous photo shoot so we took advantage of the beautiful scenery. It didn't hurt that E.W. is an amazing hobby photographer. Always makes me look my best :D
To all of the people that message me saying how much they love my photos, I want you to know that E.W. is responsible for half of them!
After finding out about E.W.'s plans to propose to me, the hotel offered to upgrade us to their one bedroom suite at no charge. I love El San Juan Hotel!!
The room included a bedroom and two full bathrooms...
A living room area and a corner bar for entertaining.
Every morning we woke up and headed straight to the breakfast buffet. It was a little pricey at $53 but had some wonderful options including my favorites - roasted potatoes, french toast, egg white omelets and doughnuts!
Breakfast was outdoors so these little black birds would sit on our chairs and stalkingly stare at our food.
The second we got up to get more food, a whole army of black would swarm over our tables and pluck the leftovers off our plates.
One birdie got too impatient and stole a Splenda, craft-fully opened it, and started gorging on the sugar inside.
Doesn't he know Splenda can cause cancer?
The day after we got engaged was spent mostly tanning at the beach and staring at my ring while tanning at the beach.
Can someone tell me what this green alien dropping is? It looks like a plant of some sort but has the texture of plastic netting. It was all over the beach.
Just making sure it's not alive...
As a tropical shower cleared up in the afternoon, a beautiful rainbow graced the skies. Call me corny but to me, this signified a new beginning and bright things ahead.
I can't wait to officially start planning our wedding and I think I want to add a wedding section to my blog. :D
P.S. Thank you to all of my friends and family that have been showering us with congratulations and happiness. Love you all xoxo
