Air France Fly’s To Miami Now? (Chapter 1)

On Short notice Del asks if I could get a week off from work because he wanted to take a quick trip to Miami. Two days later here we are pulling up to NY’s JFK airport with my suitcase full of sundress’ and bathing suits. As we get out of the taxi I realize that the driver dropped us off in front of Air France’s Terminal and that we were in the international section of the Airport. Anxious not to miss our Florida flight I asked Del what was going on, and he casually turned to me and said “Air France Fly’s To Miami Now.” Not really sure of what is going on I pull out my Passport and we head to the check-in counter. I hand my passport over to the check-in attendant, and after a few seconds he looks up and says “are you checking any luggage for your trip to Paris this evening?”

The Wait (Chapter 2)

So of course I was ecstatic and had my engagement suspicions, but after several days of waiting I began to let the idea go. I felt as if this beautful trip to one of the most romantic cities in the world would end without the proposal I was hoping for.

Flashing Lights (Chapter 3)

So the Friday comes along and he tells me we are going to a nice restaurant, which is really nothing out of the ordinary since Del is a big time foodie. What I did not know was that the restaurant turned out to be “Guy Savoy” one of the best restaurants in Paris, and at one point considered to be one of the top 10 restaurants in the world! After 14 courses and two bottles of wine, NOTHING!!! At this point I was at a complete loss for thought, how could this Man not have proposed? After exiting the restaurant about 11:30pm I made the suggestion of going to the Eiffel Tower since we hadn’t seen it at night yet, Del looks up and says, “ sure I think that would be a nice idea.” Little did I know that the suggestion I just made turned out to be Del’s plan all along! It turns out he knew that the City lights up the Eiffel Tower for just 5 minutes every evening at midnight with 20,000 white flashing lights. He perfectly timed the dinner to end at 11:30pm so that we would have just enough time to get to the Eiffel tower at Midnight to see it perform its magical dance.

As the clock struck 12, all the anticipation and the roller coaster of emotions from the airport and the several days after felt like a blur, because at that very moment he got on one knee and asked me to marry him!

And of course you all know the answer…. ;)

The short video to the left of this page shows us the moment we got engaged. :)

(Sucks. Knowing. Your. Physically. Elsewhere.)

Well let's just say what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there! For those of you who don't know, here is our story...

The two of us met in Las Vegas August 31, 2008 over Labor Day Weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel's Sunday Pool Party called "Rehab". Out of the 5,000+ people that atttended the pool party that day, and the milllions of people in Las Vegas that weekend celebrating the end of summer, fate somehow brought us together. From that moment on little did we know that our lives would be forever changed.

After 6 months and hundreds of hours of phone calls and SKYPE sessions or (Sucks. Knowing. Your. Physically. Elsewhere.) as we liked to call it we finally re-connected in Miami February 2009.

The Rest is history... :)
