This was the exact moment that I proposed to my fiancee. We were dating for 7 years before I was finally able to take her and our children on vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. You can see the surprise on the kids' faces and hers as well. Such a beautiful romantic place, pristine beach, warm water. It was perfect. (photo: @Javo95)
