How Mr. America proposed to me in Rome - I just love my story!!

This is a bit overdue...

Sooo, I've been with Mr. America for 6 + years (yes, I'll be Mrs. America--no joke!) and knew the big ? was going to be popped soon, however, did not think it would happen at our upcoming Italy trip. Anways, a couple of months later, during our 2 week trip to Italy, it happened--well, it almost didn't. He wanted to do it in Venice in a gondola but we had one hell of a day getting "lost" in Venice, which ended with me yelling at our gondola driver--clearly, wasn't the right time. Midways, through the trip, in Rome, we had a perfectly romantic night at a very private, sidewalk restaurant. We ended up at the Spanish Steps of Rome and Mr. America started to speak to me in Italian--he started with phrases that I was learning and understood, then it turned to the mushy stuff. When he got to the part about spending the rest of his life with me, I just had to ask for transalation becaue I REALLY wanted to be sure I knew what I was hearing. Anyways, he got down on his knee, pulled out my ring and did it. It was perfect--oh, and there just happened to be a guy playing a guitar 5 steps below us the entire time--so romantic and not planned!!

Sometimes, the most unplanned moments are the most romantic.

That was sweet except for you yelling. LOL But I am glad that you were surprised. Now let the planning begin.

 

Question:The real Mr. America for weight lifting?(Sorry if I missed it.)

yes I am confused as well about the Mr America thing and does he speak Italian fluently...that is romantic in itself!!!

 

What a beautiful story and enjoy the planning process it goes by very quickly

Not the weightlifter Mr. America. My fiance's last name is America...no association with the weighlifting champion ;-)!!
