Mark and I had been planning our trip to Paris and Spain for several months. Little did I know what else Mark had been planning. We arrive in Paris on Saturday, November 20th very late in the evening. After traveling into the city from the airport (and leaving Missy and Winter behind on the subway) we headed straight to the Eiffel Tower. Great first night in Paris! The next day we started early to tour the city. We visited the Museum de Orsey walked down the Champs Elysees, and hiked to the top of the Arc de Triumph. It was a long day but we decided to see Notre Dame before it closed for the evening. We toured the whole cathedral and then did some more stairs and visited the rooftop and bell tower. It was wonderful! Mark probably has twenty pictures of gargoyles from the roof and we all kept laughing about him and the gargoyles. As we made our way down from the top of Notre Dame, Mark and Winter were slow behind myself and Missy. When we reached the bottom Mark insisted he needed to sit down because his knee hurt from all the walking and stairs during the day. I, of course, was annoyed that he needed to take a break but reluctantly followed him into the Notre Dame garden for a seat. Mark grabbed my hand and started to talk to me but I thought he was kidding. I believe I told him "to shut up so we could go to dinner". He finally got down on one knee in front of the Cathedral and asked me to marry him. I said yes and the rest is history!
