On a cozy evening, Shawn and Maria shared a moment of reflection over a glass of wine, immersed in the glow of their favorite TV show. The atmosphere shifted when a jewelry commercial flickered on the screen, prompting Shawn to question the traditional gender roles in proposals. In response, Maria, with a smile, proposed a deal: she would be the one to propose first, but the traditional proposal from Shawn would still follow. A pact sealed with smiles and an agreement. With a deep understanding of their connection, Maria wasted no time in the pursuit of a men's engagement ring. Coincidentally, Shawn had planned a weekend getaway to San Diego for Maria's birthday, setting the stage for Maria's surprise proposal. Having secured the ring and sought Shawn's parents' blessings, they embarked on their journey to San Diego, each harboring secrets and surprises. While Shawn suggested a lunch in Little Italy, Maria had envisioned a beachside proposal after a scooter ride. Yet, a few more drinks than planned led Shawn to express discomfort with the scooter idea. Maria, quick on her feet, redirected the plan to a downtown San Diego Speakeasy, opting for a proposal over dinner. As they settled in, Maria, anxious yet determined, excused herself for a bathroom break to gather her nerves. However, upon returning to her seat, Maria realized the Speakeasy was drinks-only, throwing a curveball into her carefully laid plan. Undeterred, she improvised, deciding it wasn't the right place. Once outside, they strolled hand in hand, Shawn suggesting another drink. Realizing time was of the essence, Maria, with laughter echoing in her head, seized the moment. On the streets of San Diego, she spontaneously dropped to one knee, clad in a red dress and a Happy Birthday crown, holding a ring. Caught off guard, Shawn turned to find Maria on bended knee, a mix of nerves and happiness was painted across her face. Overwhelmed with emotion, he asked if she was kidding. Maria, in the midst of San Diego's night, wearing a birthday crown, holding a ring, replied, "No, I am not kidding." In that surreal moment, Shawn's eyes welled with tears, and Maria's nerves gave way to joy. A sweet "yes" exchanged, sealed with a kiss and tears of happiness, their love story continued under the stars of San Diego, forever marked by a surprise proposal in the heart of the city.
