Lighthouse Proposal

It was the 21st of August 2011. My girlfriend Leah and I were traveling through the Bahamas, seeing the sights and tasting new foods. We were on Abaco Island at a bar/restaurant trying to decide what to do. When we asked the waitress she told us about Hope Island with its pink sand beaches and a candy striped lighthouse. We decided to take the ferry the next day to Hope Island and spend the day on this picturesque little island. When I heard about the lighthouse a little light turned on in my head and I knew that was the place! I started planning how I was going to ask her in my head all night and decided it was best to get there early to avoid too many people being around. The first stop for the ferry was the lighthouse and to our surprise and my luck, we were the only ones there! As we walked up to the lighthouse my nerves were going crazy but I had to keep my cool so she didn't suspect anything. We spiraled up the steep staircase to the top of the lighthouse. After enjoying the view for a few moments Leah wanted to head down but I asked her to wait for a minute and sit down, haha straight away she knew something was up so I didn't hesitate. I knelt down on one with a lovely little cherrywood box in my hand and said 'Leah, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife.' Then I opened the box and all I heard was Waaaah Oh my GOD! After she got over the ring she eventually said YES! I took the ring out of it's box and slipped it on her finger, it fit perfectly. So I would like to thank you and the Whiteflash team for helping me to make that day so special to me and especially Leah.
