Maybe the Dingo Ate Yaw Baby!

As much as we dislike and have pure disdain for the word, we have to say it, we’re “FIANCES”. Officially engaged after 7 years. Patrick proposed on the beach in Ballito Bay, South Africa! WE’RE ENGAGED!

We were out running “errands”, had to go to Avis to change the contract. Patrick wanted to take a short walk on the beach. He asked a sunbather to take a picture of us. I looked for a good spot, turned around, and there he was on one knee. Never thought the day would come…seriously, never. I love you Fiance!!!

Patrick Speaking – Indeed we are Fiances. Looking forward to not saying that word moving forward. Yep I decided to pop the question on the beach where we originally met. Coming full circle. We found some poor unsuspecting women reading a book on the beach to take a picture. When I turned around and hit my knee I instantly melted. Thankfully she nodded because neither of us could speak. Looking forward to having everyone out for the big party in the coming months. A tremendous thank you to these people for helping me get the ring

1. Jacqueline and Jocelyn!
2. Mom, Courtney, and Kristi
3. Grellan Harty….You Da Man!

Best,

Fiances – Patrick and Kristina

   Congrats Tigue and Kristina! Carly and I absolutely hated that word to. Best solution is to just minimize its use by getting married quick Haha. Congrats again and enjoy the rest of your trip!
