While I did not realize it at the time, I was at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur. My Fiancé took me to a secluded place on the beach and told me where we were. He and I had always discussed visiting Big Sur; however, for financial reasons, we could not do it. I was overjoyed and took in the view. My heart was overflowing with emotion as I turned around and saw him on one knee. I said yes in a matter of seconds. I visualized coming back when we're old, with a family of our own.
