Just when I thought our dream holiday couldn’t get any more perfect (and rest assured, there are a few holiday re-cap posts in the works), Bob asked me to marry him in a secluded nook by the Lower Yosemite Fall Trail.
I didn’t hesitate in accepting. Tears (of joy) were shed.

It was the most perfect proposal, and a complete bolt out of the blue for me. He filled me on how he made it happen, which made some little bits of oour holiday suddenly make sense, but I honestly didn’t see this one coming (although it seems most of my friends and family had an inkling). He did such an amazing job pulling it off and for picking such a beautiful ring- you can’t see but it has a sapphire nestled under the diamond so I already have my “something blue”.
It happened almost ten days ago and it still feels very surreal, partly, I suspect to the four day jet-lag marathon we seem to be running.
I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with this man.


Congratulations! So happy for you both. x
Many congratulations!

Congratulations to you and Bob on your engagement!
The scenery and views in Yosemite National Park are really awe inspiring,
(and huge in person), and the waterfalls are spectacular there at this time of year.
Best Summer wishes to you, Bob, Mae and Pablo! 🙂
