I know the exact moment I knew I wanted to marry her. It was our first trip to the coast together, on my birthday a couple of years ago. It was this day, not long after this photo was taken, when She was sitting next to me eating clam chowder in a rundown restaurant overlooking the Pacific and the sun was shining through the windows on her face. I didn’t know then what would happen, I just hoped things would stay as good as they were. Not every day can be a sunny February birthday at the coast, but on the whole, it just gets better all the time. 1 week.
