Europeans take their vacations very seriously. After all, with an avaerage of 30 days of annual paid leave, what's one to do with all that time? Well, if you ask Arkadius, you leave Germany to spend two glorious weeks in sunny southern California with your awesome girlfriend, Alexandra.
While most travelers pack a souvenirreturning from a vacation, Arkadius packed a special box from Germany. When faced with figuring out how to place this priceless souvenier on Alexandra's hand, he contacted Ever After Proposals.
During our ongoing conversations, one of the things I found interesting learning about the couple was Alexandra's love for the famed Italian pianist and composer, Ludovico Einaudi. After going through his vast collection, it was clear why "Resta Con Me" (translated to "stay with me") was the perfect song to capture the couple's marriage proposal.
The question still remained though: where was this magical moment going to occur? Since the couple traveled thousands of miles to experience San Diego, I figured why not take them to one of the most iconic places in San Diego: the Old Point Loma Lighthouse at Cabrillo National Park. It provided the perfect decoy for the couple that was on a week long excursion of sight seeing, while taking advantage of the perfect weather and picturesque setting.
They began the day by touring the historic lighthouse, followed by a walk along the cliffs which gave panoramic views of the Pacific ocean. Since Arkadius was keen to catch Alexandra off guard, this was the moment they stumbled upon an uber romantic picnic set up for just the two of them -- with a private pianist playing "Resta con me," of course. Before Arkadius had a chance to kneel down to ask her to marry him, she saw the sign marked "Alexandra ich lieb dich,” which means “I love you” in German. In case she was looking for a sign that he was the one, it's safe to say, this was it.
