We had plans to go to Lake Charles for the weekend to celebrate Ciro’s friend’s birthday, however, the Wednesday before the trip, Covid numbers started ramping up (again), and we decided to swap the crowded Casino for an intimate weekend for two at The Barton Creek Resort in Austin.

Per usual, Ciro takes the lead on dinner reservations and the following day, reports back that there’s a winery about 20 mins away from the hotel and he’s booked us a wine tasting. And - added bonus- the Italian restaurant next door is suppose to be really amazing.

After the wine tasting our instructor took us on a tour of the grounds calling attention to a clearing in the vineyards where they host weddings. She directed us to walk down the path to check it out.

As we walked up, I noticed the fresh flowers and made a comment in Ciro’s direction, “so they just keep fresh flowers here all the time?” And as I turned toward Ciro, I saw him reach into his jacket pocket and start to kneel down.

I immediately started to cry and continued crying as Ciro said the sweetest things and asked me to marry him.

It was perfect. The best day of my life.
