"It all started with me suggesting that we take the 18th and 19th off work for a couple days before Christmas to relax and hang out together. I also suggested that we take a trip up to the Cottonwood/Jerome area to visit our favorite vineyard - Alcantara. Pablo got the ring on Sunday and had to keep it a secret all week. The plan was to go to the Haunted Hamburger for lunch and then go to the vineyard. When we arrived at Alcantara, the owner - Barbara had already discussed with Pablo a special plan of how to surprise me. After excusing myself to the restroom, I was occupied by Barbara showing her new sales items. Little did I know that there were "things" going on in the next room. Katherina was wrapping the ring box with ribbon and Pablo was giving Barbara's husband, Bob his camera to video the entire event. We had asked for our wine tastings and were on our first round when I came back into the room. Then Barbara mentioned that the vineyard had a special gift for returning guests to the winery. We should go and find it on the tree and get our picture taken. I was still oblivious to the fact that anything was happening. Pablo picked up the ring box that Katherina (Alcantara Tasting and Event manager) had wrapped in ribbon. He made a speech (see below on the video), was down on one knee and asked the question "will you marry me?" I shook my head yes and squeaked out "YES!" By the time it was all over the whole room was in tears. Everything had gone off without a hitch." - Sara The proposal (since you can't hear what I am saying): "Sara, we have been together for a while now. You are my best friend, my partner in crime. Sara Bailey, love of my life, will you marry me?"-Pablo "Nuh uh"- Sara throughout the proposal in shock. The following is a picture of us with Barbara and Bob Predmore and Katharina MacDonald from Alcantara Vineyards who helped make this moment so special.
