Sonilla and Kashif’s Engagement Story thorugh Sonilla’s eyes:

I was on a backpacking trip across Europe with friends. Kashif couldn’t get the time off work to come with me. It was a long 6 week trip without him, and despite frequent text messages and a few short phone calls, I missed him so much.

Our last stop was Paris, France, and on the first day of our week long stay in Paris, one of my friends suggested we go to a traditional French restaurant. While I was sitting in the restaurant waiting for the waiter to serve us, I decided to send off a text message to Kashif. In the middle of the text message, I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up. It was Kashif!! He was sitting right next to me! Apparently, he had planned to surprise me in Paris for a while now, coordinating with one of my friends the entire time.

I was so shocked and excited that he was there, I couldn’t imagine feeling happier. That night, as the two of us went to see the Eiffel Tower light up, I realized that Kashif wasn’t even looking at the tower. He was looking at me. He got down on one knee and proposed.

The best day of my life.
