We're Engaged

Laura loves to make a big deal out of birthdays. But they're really not my thing. I like to celebrate them for other people. But I don't like to make a big deal out of my own.

To come up with a way to celebrate on my birthday without focusing on me, I proposed marriage to Laura today. We were back aboard the ship and on our way to dinner. As we stopped for some photos with a ship's photographer, I got down on one knee and proposed.

Laura always said she wanted a public proposal and she got a crowd and a photographer tonight. Hopefully the photos will come out well and they'll give us something to remember years from now when we look back at the day we got engaged.
