You and John have been dating for a while—a few years to be exact, and you finally feel like this is the right time.

The time you’ve both been waiting for for so long.

You’ve set the day up perfectly, since the sun is shining and the weather is hot you take him to a beach, set up a picnic and walk along the shoreline with him.

The ring box rests in the pockets of your shorts. Despite wearing swimming trunks you’ve been careful not to go in the water so you don’t lose the ring.

You take a deep breath before sighing and stopping him in his tracks.

Getting down on one knee you pull the ring box out, opening it to reveal the golden band resting on the plush pillow inside.

“Will you marry me?”
