Jungfrau Proposal

We are about to embark on our second day in Salzburg, we plan to explore Old Town and check out some of the exquisite shops. It should be a bit quieter today, since the soccer game was last night (Russians and Greeks). The sun is shining, we got a great nights sleep, and the breakfast here at the Bergland was excellent (a good buffet with the usual Cereals, Yogurts, Meats/Cheeses, Eggs (hard boiled), Breads, Coffee/Tea, etc.

Although this happened back when we were in Interlaken (June 10th), I did not get a chance to write about it yet. As a few of you have known, I planned on proposing to Courtney here in the Alps. I decided to ask her on the opt of Jungfrau 14,000+ feet above sea level. It actually turned out perfectly; I gave our camera to another couple, asking them to snap a photo of us. Courtney turned around for a moment, and I dropped down to one knee and held out a ring. At first she thought I was joking (since the ring was huge...I brought a cubic zirconium to ask with, the real diamond is waiting for us with a jeweler in the diamond district of NY :)). I asked her if she would marry me and (of course) she said yes. The couple (taking our photo) luckily spoke English, they snapped a great photo and the woman started crying. Once I explained to Courtney that I decided to not bring the real diamond on the trip, she understood and agreed it was the best call. It turned out to be the perfect proposal, and how many people captured their proposal on tape? No specific plans yet for the wedding, we will start thinking about that after the trip. Just wanted to share this news with everyone. We are off to enjoy Salzburg, I am going to look for Mozart, I think he is living with John Lennon ;)
