After 4 years of dating I’m finally engaged to the love of my life! As an amateur travel blogger, my ideal proposal was definitely to be while on vacation and why not? You’re relaxed, stress levels are non – existent, all reality responsibilities are on a hard pause! Life is good.. at least for the moment. So it seemed only fitting to get engaged while vacationing and my now fiance, apparently thought the same thing. We were visiting the beautiful island of Barbados and was joined by my very dearest and closest friend and her bf.

For context, my boyfriend was running on fumes, because I was not going to tolerate being a “forever girl-friend” so he knew his clock was running out.. I mean either sh*t or get off the pot..So I had some idea that maybe he may try to propose while on this vacation but I wasn’t gonna hold my breath, because honestly every time I thought it would happened it didn’t! So what was so special about this time?

So I honestly packed it away in the back of my mind and continued to enjoyed my vacation just like any other vacation. On the morning of February 12th, we had a full day of excursions planned. We visited Harrison Caves, went to lunch, me and my friend went to get our makeup done (for a VDay local party or so I thought), and back home to rest and get ready for this party. To say I wasn’t in the mood to go to the party was an understatement. I had a headache I was exhausted and here is my friend nagging me about going to this party that we could not be late for..(In hindsight I asked my friend what was the plan if I didn’t go lol).. At this time my boyfriend wasn’t even with me he and my friend’s bf went to a local bar and was going to meet us there, so of course I really wasn’t thinking anything was up. We finally got to the destination of the party and the whole time I’m feeling overdressed and I’m thinking no-one hasn’t even arrived as yet #annoyed..but yet I was too busy appreciation the surroundings beauty of the location..As we got closer I started to hear music, so I think oh the party has started, only to turn the corner and see my boyfriend standing at the end of a aisle of rose petals with a sign saying “will you marry me” (cue the screaming lol)…To say I was completely shocked was an understatement..like when, how?? we had a full day of activities.. when did you pull this off..how long have you been planning this! lol… I eventually said yes!! (duh) after I was finished screaming my lungs out..lol

And now on to the wedding planning!!!
