David proposed at one of our most special places on Camp Pendleton—a scenic overlook of the Pacific Ocean where he had asked me to be his girlfriend nearly two years earlier. As the sun began to set, he brought me back to that very spot and had me face the ocean while he pretended to take photos of me enjoying the view. When he told me to turn around, I found him down on one knee, asking me to marry him. He chose that location because it marked the beginning of our relationship, making it the perfect place to begin this next chapter together. I arrived at that overlook as his girlfriend, and I walked back down as his fiancée.
