Andy told me to keep Easter weekend free as he was planning “something.” The weekend began when he picked me up from work and drove to the airport. I had no idea where we were going but knew it would be for four days. We got as far as the airline counter and he turned and said we are going to Hawaii! I couldn’t believe it. He had packed my bag with all the right items, planned three nights at the Hilton in an oceanfront room, booked a snorkeling trip and knowing I am a bit of foodie had made reservations at three of Honolulu’s best restaurants. On the last day, he rented a car to drive us around Oahu. He had booked our last night at a beach bungalow on the North shore. With a glass of good wine in hand and on a secluded beach at sunset, he asked me to marry him. He had carried the ring around the whole trip waiting for the perfect moment and this scene was Hollywood worthy. As the planner in our family, I still can’t believe what an amazing job he did to surprise me and it bring tears to my eyes to think how lucky I am to marry someone who is so generous, loving and kind. I wish every girl gets to experience what I did just once in their life. I am lucky to know I will have it for the rest of mine.
