I'm engaged!

I know most of you know this already from Facebook but I want to tell you the story here!!!

We were on the Isle of Capri for my birthday, and it is the absolute most perfect place on the planet, I swear. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, the water was the most intense blue I've ever seen in real life. We walked through the Gardens of Augustus early in the morning, and we spent about a half hour there, taking pictures and wandering around. Then most of our group went to get some food before we had to meet up again for another little tour. I sat down on a bench because I wasn't feeling well. Scott wandered back up the path to the fence at the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea. Then he walked back to me and told me to come with him. I asked what for, because I really just wanted to sit down or go get some gelato or something. He said we needed a picture, but we already took a lot! Ugh, I went with him anyway. When we got to the fence, he turned to me and said "I couldn't think of a more perfect place to do this" and then he started crying! And then I started crying! And he pulled out the ring and got on one knee and I just kept saying "Oh my gosh!" and I hugged him before he could even put the ring on my finger! At some point he asked if I'd marry him and of course I said yes! But the whole thing is a blur and the whole day was a blur too after that!

The first time he went to the fence before coming back to get me, he handed our camera to one of the couples from our group who were still standing there. I didn't even realize he didn't have it when he came to get me. She took pictures of the whole thing!

I'm getting married!!
