My fiance and I were vacationing in Sweden and Germany from right after Christmas until a week after New Years. On December 31 we were in a little town in Southern Sweden named Skanor. Every year on New Years absolutely everyone in the town sets of fireworks at midnight. So right before midnight, him and I took some champagne out to a little hill that was in a field behind a school to watch the fireworks. As the fireworks started going off all around us, he pulled out the ring, told me that this one of the most amazing things he’s ever seen, and that I made him feel that amazing every day, then asked me to marry him. I cried the whole time and said yes, of course.
