A  G I A N T  Congratulations to Two of My Favorite People

Kick starting our Euro trip was a quick 27 hours in Vegas for Bears’ proposal to Wenders. Jase upgraded us to First Class on our bright and early 7a Alaska flight, which meant we were up at 4:45a for it, and we so, so wished this was for our LAS to EWR flight instead because we know we’re going to be screwed from the lack of sleep, but we don’t have any more Alaska/Virgin flights on the rest of our itinerary, so it was what it was and I am still grateful.  After landing in LAS, we picked up our rental van, and popped by Egg Works for some breakfast + for a quick work sesh. We tapped out at noon and headed to the Airbnb for a catnap before RiSE Festival. We started making our way out to Jean Dry Lake for RiSE around 4p, and from arrival to proposal, the time flew. When everyone’s (except Bear’s & Wenders’, as intended) lanterns have successfully floated off into the night sky, and as Wenders was trying to capture a video of the stunning sight, Bear walked her down memory lane before getting down on one knee and asking the question. From a shocked-silly Wenders: “Are you f*cking kidding me right now..” is the appropriate and acceptable reaction/response. Following RiSE, we headed back to the Airbnb for a quick a regroup before heading to Hash House A Go Go for a late night bite. And as we made our way out of the venue, the parking lot was a shit show - I accidentally drove in the oncoming traffic lane, and Wenders & I got to go over what had just happened (the proposal, not the traffic). In the years that I’ve known this darling gem, I have never, ever seen or heard her happier, and that makes me full of warm and fuzzy feelings, grinning silly head-to-toe. All the thought and planning Bear put into the proposal, everything leading up to the big moment, and the proposal itself was so precious, I had tears throughout - I find it extremely romantic that they had met in Vegas and they agreed to be each other’s for life in Vegas. It’s a full circle to the start of a new chapter in their lives. And Jason & I made it to Hash House’s parking lot, but decided then that we should probably head to our hotel for a good night’s rest before the official start to our Euro trip, aka a 5hr flight to NY + a 6hr layover + the actual flight into Spain. Goodnight for now.
