Ashley and Gayle Cario, Egypt

Proposal Type: Travel
Ring: Round Diamond

We were on a vacation in Egypt. Since the time I was little I wanted to go there. It was mid-afternoon, well over 100 degrees and we were touring the pyramids. Just being there was amazing, but it was about to get even better. My husband called me over to a secluded area, I was reluctant to go because it was so hot and I was tired and I didn't see the point. He finally said just 'get over here'! When I reached him he dropped to one knee and looked up at me. For some strange reason I thought he had fallen and I tried to help him up (nerves?) He shook me off, and presenting me with a ring asked me to be his wife. I started to cry of course. And I said yes. He had arranged for us to ride camels right after - I felt a million miles off the ground. I found out later that he had been hiding the ring in various places during our trip before he asked me - kind of like a game. One night apparently I slept on it. He also has a photo of me asleep on the plane - on the way there- and he is dangling the ring over my head. We returned to our hotel and called our friends.
