Mike & Katie

We were hiking a trail that wound down toward this quiet little lake, the kind you only find if you know exactly where to look. The air was crisp, the peaks still dusted with snow, and the sky was turning every shade of orange and pink.

Right as we reached the water’s edge, he stopped, took my hand, and said, “I think this is the perfect spot.” Before I could ask what he meant, he pulled out a small box. When he opened it, the diamond caught the last bit of sunlight and just… glowed.

I don’t even remember exactly what he said after that — I just remember nodding through happy tears and feeling his hands shake a little as he slipped the ring on my finger. It’s perfect. The setting, the sparkle, the way it catches the light… every time I look at it, I’m right back at that lake, saying yes all over again.
