Unforgettable cruise

For my birthday two years ago, Alex bought us a cruise to the Bahamas. A couple of months later when we were leaving, my mom had told me it was going to be a trip I would never forget.
The second day of our cruise was the formal night for the captain's dinner. We were all dressed up and after dinner we went for a walk to the back of the boat. After about an hour of nervousness from Alex, he eventually proposed. As he got down on one knee to ask, a couple who happened to be there took a picture so we have picture of the moment I said yes!
My mom was right. It was a trip I will never forget.
