THE BIG NIGHT!!!!

After a great day of relaxing and walking around, we passed the back part of the Invalides building (mind you, i have no idea what this is, but that is what it is called and so i went with it!) and we took this shot.
We had an amazing stroll around the streets of Paris and back to our neighborhood, next to the Eiffel Tower. We decided to watch the sparkling tower, so we sat down on a bench off to the side of the Champ de Mars, the main park behind the Tower. The night was cool, so i wrapped up in my wool shawl and Brian has his arms around me sitting on the park bench, facing the tower. It was perfect, sitting in the cool fall night with my love on a bench by the Eiffel Tower...so perfect i started to fall asleep! Little did i know what was about to happen!!
After a little while, Brian asked me if i was sure i wanted to spend the rest of my life with him...to which i replied 99% of the time! Not what he was looking for, so he was about to rethink his next move, when i told him that this was just perfect: the Paris night, the trip, him...he then said "the only thing that would make it more perfect is if you would say you would be my wife". So...the first thing i said was "YOU LIED!" because he said he didn't have the ring with him! Then, of course, i said yes!
It was an amazing night. We got dressed up and celebrated with some good French wine and a wonderful ice cream dessert. Then we watched the Eiffel Tower sparkle again one more time before going back to the hotel. I could not have asked for a more perfect day!
