The way Robert proposed has been in most girls' dreams at least once.
He led Alysia on a long walk along the beach and challenged her to a treasure hunt. They found shells, various stones, and sea creatures. Near the end of their walk, they headed into the sand dunes where they came across a bottle buried halfway in the sand. Alysia spotted it and realized that there was a message inside the container! Alysia was so excited and opened the bottle to uncover the message within. Little did she know that Robert planted the message earlier that day. Alysia opened the message to find her proposal while Robert got down on one knee and asks her to be his greatest treasure and love of his life. She said yes and it's clear to see why.
I really admire this sweet couple's dedication and fearsome love for each other. They spent the last five years of their relationship being separated by 1,000 miles as Robert attended West Point and Alysia went to the University of Florida. They made their relationship work through calls and occasional visits but it's hard to imagine how difficult that must have been.
I am personally so excited for Robert and Alysia to take on this next adventure in their lives! One look at the couple cuddled up amongst the sand dunes and you can see just how much they love each other. If you get one message (in a bottle) from this - it's that love is worth waiting for.
