Mike and Nikki

When the moment finally happened, the smile that spread across her face, the joy that shook through her body, the tears of joy that streamed down her cheek was all he needed as he slipped the ring on to her finger, "Yes," she whispered, "Ten-thousand times yes... what took you so long?"

SHE SAID YES! And when it finally hits us, all either of us can do is laugh with joy! Sweeter than candy; funnier than Aziz Ansar. Getting to spend the rest of our lives with our best friend is the best treat.

In the middle of the US capital city, time stands still as heels leave the ground and eternity begins.

Even with the rush of busy traffic in the background, the rest of the world fades away as the golden hour breaks the horizon over the Potomac. 

Even standing on the steps on the Lincoln Memorial, we can't help but cut a rug in a little celebratory moment. Yes we are doing this, and yes it is going to be amazing. Get ready world, here we come!

Gotta drop down on one knee and properly ask the girl of your dreams to spend the rest of her life with you, but I can't stop from laughing at the joy and astonishment on her face of feeling the same way. 

My dad and I had talked, studied and argued for months. My brother Teddy and I had spent nights studying the light return from the prysm angles of 43 stones to create the perfect ring that showed the fire that I felt for the woman of my dreams. Now getting to see it on her hand, for the rest of her life... it was perfect. It said exactly what I wanted it to- you are it. 

With a big world out there to conquer, we are going to do it better together. One adventure at a time, one story at a time, one trial and one success. One by one, for each memory we make, we grow together. Stronger. Better.
