A Romantic Desert Proposal

 

 

Melissa and Thomas

How they met 

Melissa and Thomas’ love story began in December 2016. Upon Tom’s return from living in Hong Kong, a mutual friend instantly realized that he and Melissa would be perfect for one another, and from the moment they met, it was the truth! On their first date, they both knew they were twin flames that belonged together. In the first hour of their date, Tom asked Melissa to travel for two weeks to Argentina and Uruguay at the end of December. She said, “Yes”, and that was the start of their love journey.

The Proposal

Seventeen countries later, after visiting dozens of cities, renting an apartment and adopting two adorable cats, these two Aquarian soulmates finally solidified their love in the White Desert of Egypt on February 27, 2019. As the sun was setting, with no one around for 50 miles, Thomas got down on his knee and asked her to be his wife. Without a flinch, Melissa answered “Oh my God, are you serious? YES!!” There was laughter and tears of joy, as they spent the night drinking, eating and dancing to beautiful Arabian music, by a bonfire under a blanket of stars. They slept under the moonlight and woke up ready to start the rest of their lives together. What a spectacular way to begin this love journey.
