Eliza and Patrick finished up their summer internships when they had the good fortune of joining Patrick’s family, Scott, Kelly, and Erin, on a trip to the southern region of Ireland. In typical Irish fashion, it was raining the morning they visited the forest park of Gougane Barra, one of the most beautiful areas in Ireland. They stopped for lunch at the mountain base lodge, and the skies started clearing. It was becoming a beautiful day! The party of five were able to start their hike up the mountain, destined to discover one of the many waterfalls Patrick anticipated finding that day. Eliza became confused as Patrick hiked aggressively up the trail, while Scott and Kelly “accidentally” fell behind. As Patrick and Eliza approached a secluded waterfall hidden in the pine forest, Patrick dropped to one knee, and his best friend, Eliza, said “yes”! Patrick's sister, Erin, was close enough to capture the moment, including the absolute terror when Eliza hugged Patrick and the ring was almost dropped into the waterfall….The group popped champagne in honor of the new couple, and then it was off to Dublin where the Irish whiskey flowed in celebration!
