After three and a half years of long-distance dating, Kaleb proposed to Gilda in her very favorite place: sunny Carmel, CA. When it came time to propose, Kaleb devised a plan to surprise his college sweetheart with a beach picnic. Kaleb says, “The day of the proposal, we went on a hike at sea lion point, then came home to rest, and I was anything but restful.  Gilda had no idea about my nerves because she took a nice relaxing nap.

I got down on one knee and proposed, both of us with tear-filled eyes.”
