It's official...we're engaged!

On our final day in Firenze [yes...I know this post is out of order, but I wanted to save the best for last!] Monty and I visited several Basilica's and then headed across the river to see the Piazzale Michelangelo and the Boboli Gardens. The views were spectacular and what we saw of the gardens [we refused to pay the entry fee, so just peeked in.] On our way back across the Ponte Vecchio bridge, we saw this view and I had to take a picture. We thought it was a pretty view and Monty had been wanting someone to take our picture for several days and we thought this would be perfect...

So...I hopped up on the side of the bridge, gave my camera to Monty and he handed it over to a woman standing near us. Now...keep in mind, I just think he wants someone to get a picture of us...I have no idea what's going on. The next thing I know...he's down on one knee holding up a ring. As you can see...I'm totally surprised!

As Monty's standing up, he realizes that he had an audience and is getting embaressed. Not only was the woman taking a picture of us, but so were probably 50 others and a couple were cheering him on! His face was priceless when he finally realized!

Of course I said yes and he is thrilled beyond belief! The planning is in full force, but no date has been set yet!
