It was arguably the happiest day of their life.

Receiving an eternal commitment from the one you love, on an island where you're surrounded by nothing but bliss.

There's something beautiful about moments like these, where you can't help but only feel overjoyed and happy for two people who want to take the next step in their relationship as a team. It's the times like these that we allow ourselves to wish nothing but the best for others - and to let minor differences fall by the wayside.

For those who are impatient about starting that new story, don't forget to cherish the other past great adventures that are longstanding on that shelf.

While that person is beginning the next chapter in her life, the page is turning to a close on ours. What once would have been a moment to share and to rejoice is now only hearsay. 

Yesterday my friend got engaged to the love of their life, and while we may no longer be starting our own chapter, I wish you nothing but good fortune on your new one.
