My boyfriend had just graduated military training the day before and we met my family at the beach for vacation.
He knew how much I love the beach so that evening he set out a blanket, roses and candles. The candles would not stay lit with the breeze, but there were beautiful stars above us as he proposed to me on one knee. It was perfect because he knew how much it would mean to me on the beach. I had not expected him to propose until the fall.
A perfect night under those gorgeous stars.
Four kids and almost 17 years of marriage later I gave him this reminder on Valentine's Day.
He loved it!
