I knew she was the one - now I just had to figure out the perfect way to ask this amazing woman to spend the rest of her life with me.

"I'm going on vacation to Belize with Ceci and Daddy" she said. PERFECT!

I asked her Dad if I could crash the vacation and surprise Charlie with a romantic proposal on the beach with the most important people in her life - her family surrounding us. She said YES! I'm the luckiest man alive.
