(wrote this for the wedding website. However, I wanted to transfer here as that will expire at some point)
We were in Boston for our friend's Lauren & Josh's wedding. Mariano had planned to do ring shopping and proposing all in the same weekend. However, he lucked out (as that would have been tricky to do with Laura right by his side) when he passed by a jewelry shop window while on a stroll in Lucerne and took note of a ring that Laura really liked. Lucky for Mariano, Laura was extremely busy at work and only taking quick lunch breaks. He used the rest of the time to sneak off and buy the ring. Now during this time and even on the plane ride over he would ask Laura, "If I asked you to marry me, would you say yes?" Her response always was "Of course!" Well after the last time he asked on the plane, she thought to herself, "Why am I letting him off the hook so easily? He should have to worry about whether I'll give him a yes or no." So she decided the next time he'd ask her, she wouldn't say yes. Little did she know the next time would be for real! Mariano had planned a million different ways to ask but when it came down to it, he ordered breakfast in bed at the hotel with champagne. He wanted this to be a celebratory breakfast so he had a time limit on when he needed to ask Laura. Ten minutes before the meal was to arrive Laura ran to the bathroom and Mariano used this moment to prepare. When she returned, the moment is a bit foggy but there it was again, he asked, "So will you marry me?" Laura, remembering her thoughts from the day before, thinking this was just another hypothetical question said, "I don't know, I have to think about it." Mariano's face dropped and he said, "No I'm serious this time! Will you marry me?" and he took the ring from the side table. Laura of course said, "Yes" and couldn't stop laughing. A few minutes later there was a knock and our food had arrived. The man had asked us if we were celebrating anything special and we told him that we had just got engaged. So sorry mom and dad and close friends, the first person we told was a complete stranger!
