Shortly after we returned from Malta a few weeks ago, Jordan and I spent a long weekend in Lyon, France.   We had debated for awhile if we should visit Lyon, or just go to Paris, affectionally known as the city of love.  We chose Lyon, and as we found out, Lyon and “the city of love” might be one and the same.

Jordan and I had planned to just explore the city by foot, but eventually caved and decided to take a car to Parc de la Tête d’or, a 19th century park, which was supposed to be lovely and was a bit too far to walk from our airbnb.

It turned out to be very hot that day, but we enjoyed our time there anyway. The park was beautiful with a few rose gardens, statues, a lake in the middle, and luckily, tons of trees. We spent a few hours there, mostly on the side of the park near where we entered, but I decided that we needed to walk around the WHOLE thing. So, we did.

I’m so glad we did because we just happened to run into Natalie and Rob… the cutest couple, who had just gotten engaged!!!

I honestly have no idea HOW it happened. All I know is that Jordan saw a “really cool” weeping willow that formed a cave right by the water and had to go in to check it out. Once we entered the cave, we overheard Rob telling Natalie how nervous he was trying to hide the ring while packing for the trip.  And that’s when we knew… he had JUST popped the question!!

So, of course I asked them if I could snap a couple of photos to mark the occasion.  And, then we left them to enjoy their engagement day!!

Natalie and Rob, congratulations again!! It was such a pleasure running in to you and we hope you are having tons of fun planning for the big day!

P.S. Check out Natalie’s ring!! (It’s was Rob’s grandmother’s – what an honor!)
