Jessica and Brian went on vacation over Christmas while Cassidy was on a cruise, they decided to go to Curaçao as it was one of the cruise ports of call. Brian decided this would be a great opportunity for a proposal. Brian asked Cassidy’s permission over a tearful breakfast a month prior.

Brian ordered the ring to arrive with only a day to spare before he travelled. As he anxiously awaited its arrival, it was delivered to the wrong address, which made for a comedically angry search.

Brian originally planned to propose on Christmas Eve as this date is special to him and Jessica. However, plans didn’t work because the Island was basically shut down for the holidays. The people who knew about the proposal were on edge waiting for a text of the big news and were afraid to reach out and ask.

Finally, on December 26th they were able to schedule a private sunset dinner on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Brian didn’t know when he was going to ask over an amazing dinner. He finally proposed right before dessert, but don’t ask him what he said because he blacked out.

Our butler decorated our room to help celebrate the momentous occasion. They were very thoughtful and excited for us.

The entire thing was a complete surprise to Jessica as Brian did a very good job hiding the ring (in multiple places). She remembers how thoughtful and sweet his words were but also doesn’t remember exactly what he said.

The next morning, we woke up to see Cassidy’s cruise ship passing by our beach front patio. And we got to celebrate with her.
