So I got engaged...

UNDER THE EIFFEL TOWER IN PARIS!! lol Yeah, no big deal right?

I still can't believe that happened! What a fairytale engagement!

So the fairytale story goes like this:

Once upon a time...

I flew to Paris in March 2011 to visit Seta because he had a few days off. It was kind of a spur of the moment trip. I just happend to have a few days off and so did he so I jumped on the plane and flew first class direct to Paris(thank goodness for flight benefits!) Seta took a train up from Montpellier and met me at the train station in Paris where we hopped on the metro to do a little sightseeing around Paris before our train to Lyon to visit Mata and Romu.

Our first stop was the Musee du Louvre...




The architecture of the museum was so pretty!

It was incredible to see the glass pyramids in person after seeing it in movies and stuff(The DaVinci Code lol) We didnt have time to go in but I WILL someday soon because hello the Mona Lisa painting is there! haha and a lot of other famous artwork ;)

Next stop was the Arc de Triomphe...


Seta and the Arc de Triomphe


and I...

This was a lot bigger than I thought and absolutely beautiful!

Our last stop on our quick tour was THEE Eiffel Tower... Ok now everyone knows what the Eiffel Tower looks like. It's one of the most famous structures in the world! BUT when you see it for the first time in person, it is absolutely breathtaking!


in awe of the tower--before the proposal


island boy made it all the way to the Eiffel Tower lol

Built in 1889, it stands at 1,063 ft and held the record for the tallest manmade structure in the world for 41 years until the Chrysler buildings were built<---ok that was a random fact for ya haha Anyway, so ya, very very tall and amazing!! I caught a glimpse of it from the metro before we got off to see it and got so excited like I had just seen a celebrity :)

After walking around this amazing structure, we stood underneath it and were talking. At that point, I had an idea but when Seta actually knelt down and opened the little box with the ring, OMG I got very emotional and then I pulled him to stand up because I didnt want everyone looking at me haha He proposed, I said YES, and now am ENGAGED :)


yup, just after I said yes :)


Good job Seta!!



And they lived happily ever after.
THE END.......for now.. :)
