Our proposal story begins with a daring suggestion from Taylor after we had only known each other for three months. She proposed a trip to Cancun to see if Alex was up for an adventure. Little did she know, he was up for it and then some. In September, we flew to Cancun to spend six days and five nights at the luxurious Live Aqua resort.

Before the trip, Alex had asked his mother for her engagement ring, planning to propose during their stay. The first night, the plan was potentially spoiled by a text she noticed on his phone stating, "Good luck, buddy!" She spent the rest of the trip wondering at every opportunity, "Is it happening?"

Alex, suspecting that Taylor knew what was coming, decided to wait until the very last moment. He also wanted to avoid making a public scene, knowing Taylor's preference for more intimate moments. On the final day of our trip, as the sun rose, Alex seized the perfect moment. Having sprung for a balcony suite, he followed Taylor outside and, with the breathtaking sunrise as their backdrop, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said yes (obviously)!
