THEIR STORY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cBack in high school, 18 years ago, I received a random instant message on AOL from a screen name I didn\u2019t recognize. I opened it up and it was Carina, who was living in Germany and wanted to practice her English. So we started emailing, sending letters in the mail, and exchanging pictures. We started purchasing phone cards to call internationally, too! Eventually, we started video chatting with Skype, Facebook messenger, etc. We had a few missed opportunities to meet during and after college with missed connecting flights and me being unavailable when she was in the U.S. or Canada for business. Finally, in 2017, we decided to make it happen, and I booked my ticket over to see her. At this point, we had been Skyping daily. I flew over and met her in person for the first time after 17 years in Kassel, Germany. By the end of my week there, I knew she was the one, but did not tell her at that time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION\/DATE?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe continued to talk daily and realized that we needed to make us<\/em> happen, so we began to plan how to do that. I planned my proposal for our road trip through Europe this May and June. I have always wanted to travel to Prague and loved the setting proposing from Letn\u00e1 Park would provide for the background.\u201d<\/span>

THE BIG DAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe were 15 minutes late getting to the proposal site because the Uber was late getting to us and we were stuck in a bit of traffic. He dropped us off at the wrong side of Letn\u00e1 Park, so we had to walk a good deal to where we were to meet Eli\u0161ka<\/a>! Carina was wearing brand new shoes she had purchased on the trip because she forgot her dress shoes at home! So, en route, she got blisters on her heels and her toes! Once we got to the proposal site, she took time to put bandaids on the blisters, I proposed, and we took some pictures there. She didn\u2019t realize we had a full one-hour shoot! She was a trooper and we did the shoot! Eliska chose some beautiful spots in addition to the spots we chose on our planning call and we had a blast!\u201d \u2013 Richard<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
