After 9 years it\u2019s finally official: Koen and I are engaged! Last Thursday Koen went on his knees during our flight to New York. Of course I said yes! I really didn’t expect it at that moment and still hardly can’t believe it!<\/p>\n
As part of the surprise, Koen arranged businessclass tickets instead of economy class. I didn\u2019t know about this until we entered the plane and were guided to row 2 instead of row 35. Koen knew I wanted to fly businessclass one day (bucketlist thingie) and said he booked business class with the mindset of \u2018let\u2019s just experience it for once\u2019. I was so impressed by the luxury of business class that I didn\u2019t think for a minute it would be part of something bigger.<\/p>\n
The flight went by super fast thanks to the enjoyable businessclass. When we entered the plane, they served champaign and freshmade orange juice. During our flight we got to pick a three course menu (twice!). We had a lot of space and thanks to our recliner seats we were able to lie flat, which made sleeping amazingly comfortable.<\/p>\n
At the end of our flight, only one hour left, I saw Koen talking with a flight attendant. He gave her our cameras, turned it on and asked me to stand up. At that moment I was in complete (positive) shock, I didn\u2019t expect he would propose at that moment. He said some sweet words, went on his knees and showed me the ring. Between tears I said yes and Koen put the pretty ring on my finger.<\/p>\n
Then we received many congratulations from the KLM crew and people that were sitting around us. Even the pilots came to our seats. We received champaign and a gift bag from the KLM crew. The last 45 minutes of the flight we were \u2018in the sky\u2019 and didn\u2019t have eye for anything else than each other. Koen told me all about his sneaky arrangements such as talking to our parents, picking a ring, getting the ring on board unnoticed, arranging businessclass and working together with the crew.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re still enjoying our \u2018engagement trip\u2019 through New York and the Niagara Falls. Friday we will arrive at our appartment in Maryland for the next adventure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
