Maybe you want it a little more deserted; an island, and more palm trees. Fine, so something like this:
So here's how it went down. Mr. Tango and I were planning a camping trip to the San Blas islands over Easter break. San Blas is an archipelago of 365 islands which are largely undeveloped, and run by the indigenous Kuna people (see below).
We went shopping for some camping gear, and set out for the islands.
Three days later, we were cooking dinner on our mini grill, and Mr. T lit candles around our campsite so we could see. Because the wind was strong, he put them inside empty coconut shells we had eaten/drank from earlier. Ummm, can you say ah-ma-zing? There was one that the wind kept blowing out so he asked me to try to light it. I tried to put the candle in the coconut and instead found a box. Not gonna lie, I froze.
Really froze. I just stared at him, not saying anything. My jaw was wide open. We had talked about marriage plenty and there was never any doubt we would be together, but HOLY CRAP - a proposal already? Wowzers!
He got down on one knee and for the life of me I have no idea what he said. I'm sure it was beautiful and eloquent, but I was too ecstatic to think. The 'yes' on my part was a given. It was the most beautiful proposal to the most amazing man, and we were able to enjoy our time alone on a gorgeous island for 2 more days!
I mean, I did tell Mr. T that he had damn well better have a creative proposal or I'd make him do it again, but he more than exceeded expectations! And there it is - I was, and am, a very happily engaged

Was your proposal a surprise? How did he pop the question?
