The Proposal

In November of last year, Devin and Erica traveled to Ireland and Scotland after Erica returned from deployment. It was a little chilly at times, but this meant there weren’t many tourists around. That’s how the couple found themselves in a secluded area at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Unbeknownst to Erica, Devin wasn’t just jingling loose coins in his pocket—he was triple-checking that the ring was still there. As the sun set, Devin got down on one knee and asked Erica to marry him, to which she was overjoyed to say yes... although the verbal “yes” didn’t actually come until the car ride back to the hotel. Erica had been so surprised and frazzled in the moment that she hadn’t realized she never actually said the words—though she figured the yes was implied.
