Away in sunny Dominican Republic, all David wanted to do was propose to Holly on the beach. But with those nice new shoes, there was no way that Holly was going to go walking through the sand. Holly made this very clear.

... time to improvise!

After going for a walk around the resort, they stopped briefly. David brought up their latest favourite TV show, "Once upon a time." A show about fairytale characters, love stories, and adventure. As far as they were concerned, the characters of Snow White and Prince Charming were modeled after them. After confirming one last time that Holly was indeed his snow white, and that he was still her prince charming, and further ensuring Holly was prepared for adventure, he proposed!

Now for the less glamourous details of this tale...

Upon check-in at the resort, their names were listed as Mr. and Mrs. Barnwell. Later that night, Holly joked that they must now be "life partners," and David had better secure a bubble gum ring from the vending machine for her. David, having none of this, jumped straight into the proposal!
