In November 2017, we took a cruise to Central America along with our amazing friends Yolanda and Randy. It was Tommy's first time out of the country. On the second night at sea, the four of us got dressed up for the captain's dinner. When we were finished, Louis suggested that we have an impromptu photoshoot around the ship. (Why waste a great outfit, right?) Secretly this was all part of the plan that Louis and Yolanda had developed for the proposal:

1) Louis would suggest that they take a stroll on deck after dinner.

2) Once the perfect spot for the proposal could be identified, Yolanda would suggest we take pictures since we were all dressed up.

3) Yolanda would make Tommy check if he liked how he looked in the photo.

4) Once we knew Tommy liked the way his hair looked, Louis would say let's take one more.

5) Yolanda would begin filming and Louis would propose.

It was super romantic and a bit surreal - kind of like being in a movie.
