Give us the proposal details! When? Where? How?
I had no Idea he was going to propose because I honestly thought it was too soon! We went to Paris for a holiday and tried to make a reservation to eat at the tower but it was impossible. I told him I still wanted to go up the stairs, so when we reached the second floor of the tower I told him I wasn’t going to walk up all of those stairs and not at least try to eat there! We entered the restaurant and convinced them to give us a table, we were so happy because it was one of our dreams to eat there! Afterward, we decided to take the elevator to the top of the tower and I said, “Let’s take a selfie!” He replied, “No, a video will be better.” While I was taking what I thought was just a selfie video, I had a glass of champagne in my hand and went to cheers him. In that moment, he proposed. I recorded my proposal without even knowing!

What has been your favorite experience planning the wedding?
We have loved everything! My fiance has been involved in everything except my dress (of course). It has been more of an adventure than stress!
How do you stay sane under the pressures of wedding planning?
Our friends have been a lot of help. It’s important to sit and discuss what you both want first, and then make a list of what’s most important.
