My fiancé was attending college for landscape architecture. One Saturday afternoon he asked me to go to a park with him because he needed to take pictures of the landscaping for one of his college classes. We walked around the park holding hands and talking and stopped occasionally so he could take his pictures. This was no kids' park it had ponds, waterfalls, bridges and gazebos, it was one of the most beautiful one that I have ever seen. Well after a few hours we stopped to rest on a bench in one of the gazebos. He handed me his digital camera a and started the slideshow feature to show me all the pictures that he had taken that day. In the middle of his landscape pictures that was a picture of a beautiful diamond ring. Not quite hitting me right away, he got down on one knee pulled the ring in the picture out of his pocket and told me how much I meant to him and that he couldn't imagine a life without me. Then he asked if I would make him the happiest man in the world and marry him. I was so stunned and happy that I couldn't talk I just started crying and nodded my head until I could get the words yes, yes of course I will out.

How beautiful! Where was this park?
